FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DELAWARE INVESTMENTS® DIVIDEND AND INCOME FUND, INC.

ANNOUNCES EXPIRATION OF TENDER OFFER

PHILADELPHIA, June 29, 2016 — Delaware Investments Dividend and Income Fund, Inc. (NYSE: DDF) (the “Fund”), a closed-end management investment company, today announced the preliminary results of its tender offer for up to 425,937 shares of its common stock, representing up to five percent of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock, each of which has a par value of $0.01 per share. The offer expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on Tuesday, June 28, 2016. Based on current information, approximately 1,629,843.5066 shares of common stock, or approximately 19.13% of the Fund’s common stock outstanding, were tendered through the expiration date. This total does not include shares tendered pursuant to notices of guaranteed delivery. Because the number of shares exceeded 425,937 shares, the relative number of shares that will be purchased from each shareholder will be prorated based on the number of shares properly tendered. The final number of shares validly tendered and accepted pursuant to the tender offer will be announced at a later date. The Fund expects to make cash payments for tendered and accepted shares at a price equal to 98% of the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on June 29, 2016. Payment for shares tendered and accepted is expected to be sent to tendering shareholders within approximately ten business days after the expiration date.

The Fund is a diversified closed-end fund. The primary investment objective is to seek high current income; capital appreciation is a secondary objective. The Fund seeks to achieve its objectives by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 65% of its total assets in income-generating equity securities, including dividend-paying common stocks, convertible securities, preferred stocks, and other equity-related securities. Up to 35% of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in nonconvertible debt securities consisting primarily of high yield, high-risk corporate bonds. In addition, the Fund uses leveraging techniques in an attempt to obtain a higher return for the Fund. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives.

The Fund has implemented a managed distribution policy. Under the policy, the Fund is managed with a goal of generating as much of the distribution as possible from net investment income and short-term capital gains. The balance of the distribution will then come from long-term capital gains to the extent permitted and, if necessary, a return of capital.
