Delaware Investments^® Dividend and Income Fund, Inc. (“DDF” or the “Fund”), acting pursuant to a Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) exemptive order and with the approval of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”), has adopted a managed distribution policy (the “Plan”). Effective as of March 29, 2018, the Fund makes monthly distributions to common shareholders at a targeted annual distribution rate of 10% of the Fund’s average net asset value (“NAV”) per share. The Fund will calculate the average NAV per share from the previous three full months immediately prior to the distribution based on the number of business days in those three months on which the NAV is calculated. The distribution will be calculated as 10% of the prior three months’ average NAV per share, divided by 12. This distribution methodology is intended to provide shareholders with a consistent, but not guaranteed, income stream and a targeted annual distribution rate and is intended to narrow any discount between the market price and the NAV of the Fund’s common shares, but there is no assurance that the policy will be successful in doing so.

Under the Plan, 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. The Fund will generally distribute amounts necessary to satisfy the terms of the Fund’s Plan and the requirements prescribed by excise tax rules and Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). Each monthly distribution to shareholders is expected to be at the fixed percentage described above, except for extraordinary distributions and potential distribution rate increases or decreases to enable the Fund to comply with the distribution requirements imposed by the Code.

The Board may amend, suspend, or terminate the Fund’s Plan at any time without prior notice if it deems such action to be in the best interest of the Fund or its shareholders. The methodology for determining monthly distributions under the Plan will be reviewed at least annually by the Fund’s Board, and the Fund will continue to evaluate its distribution in light of ongoing market conditions. The suspension or termination of the Plan could have the effect of creating a trading discount (if the Fund’s stock is trading at or above NAV) or widening an existing trading discount. The Fund is subject to risks that could have an adverse impact on its ability to maintain distributions under the Plan. Examples of potential risks include, but are not limited to, economic downturns impacting the markets, increased market volatility, portfolio companies suspending or decreasing corporate dividend distributions, and changes in the Code.

Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amounts of these distributions or from the terms of the Plan. The Fund’s total investment return on NAV is presented in its financial highlights table.

A shifting monetary backdrop

The Fund’s fiscal year ended Nov. 30, 2019, began with a sharp downturn, with most financial assets experiencing steep valuation drops. These asset-price declines primarily reflected investors’ worries about rising interest rates amid mounting global economic uncertainty.

By the first quarter of 2019, however, conditions for most asset classes had turned significantly positive and generally remained that way for the rest of the fiscal year. Global financial markets marched ahead, as central banks globally signaled their intent to provide monetary support for their respective economies.

These central banks included the US Federal Reserve, which gradually shifted from a policy of raising interest rates to one of cutting them. The shift took place against a backdrop of consistent US economic growth with few signs of inflation. In December 2018, the Fed raised its benchmark short-term interest rate by 0.25 percentage points – it was the central bank’s seventh such rate increase in the previous two years. The Fed then kept the federal funds rate steady until late July, when it initiated its first of three successive 0.25-percentage-point rate cuts. By fiscal year end, the federal funds rate was within a range of 1.50% to 1.75%, where it had been in mid-2018.

The Fed’s monetary policy shift came amid the US economy’s weakest quarterly performance of the fiscal year. US gross domestic product (GDP), a measure of national economic output, grew by an annualized rate of just 1.1% in the final three months of 2018. By the first quarter of 2019, however, US annual GDP growth accelerated to 3.1%. The national economy subsequently expanded by 2.0% and an estimated 2.1% in the year’s second and third quarters, respectively. Meanwhile, the US unemployment rate declined further, reaching 3.5% in November 2019 – the lowest

since 1969. (Sources: US Bureau of Economic Analysis and US Bureau of Labor Statistics.)

Favorable market conditions

The shift in Fed interest rate policy was the main driver behind the favorable results seen across all of the Fund’s asset classes, as financial markets benefited strongly from the increase in global liquidity.

For the fiscal year ended Nov. 30, 2019, US large-cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000^® Value Index, gained 11.33%, as the equity market recovered from a December 2018 market correction to produce steady gains throughout the rest of the 12-month period.

High yield corporate bonds gained 9.68%, as reflected in the performance of the Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate High-Yield Index. During the fiscal year, high yield bonds benefited from narrowing credit spreads, indicating that investors were willing to accept gradually less income in exchange for taking on credit risk.

Meanwhile, convertible securities, as measured by the ICE BofA US Convertible Index, gained 14.53%, while US real estate securities, as indicated by the FTSE Nareit Equity REITs Index, gained 16.33%.

Individual contributors and detractors

Within the US large-cap value equity subportfolio, we saw subpar results from several energy stocks, especially Halliburton Co., an energy-services provider, and Marathon Oil Corp. and Occidental Petroleum Corp., both exploration and production (E&P) companies.

Halliburton continued to face difficult business conditions, as the company has had to adjust to declining North American investment activity and its increasingly returns-focused business model. Marathon Oil struggled due to its sensitivity to changes in the price of oil, which often leads to exaggerated moves in the company’s stock price. Finally, shares of Occidental Petroleum came under pressure following its decision to acquire Anadarko Petroleum at what investors viewed was too high a price. Investors also appeared to dislike the terms of the deal’s financing.

Portfolio management review (Unaudited)

Delaware Investments^® Dividend and Income Fund, Inc.

In contrast, several defense-related companies within the industrials sector contributed to the Fund’s relative performance, especially Northrop Grumman Corp. and Raytheon Co. We believe defense-company stocks generally fared well due to rising geopolitical tensions and potentially weaker fundamentals weighing on stocks in many other areas of the industrials sector.

Sticking to our strategy

We regularly invest across multiple asset classes, searching for securities that offer a competitive yield and the opportunity for dividend growth. We also prioritize managing downside risk while seeking to limit potential capital losses.

Throughout the fiscal year, consistent with our income-oriented focus, we maintained a relatively consistent asset mix. The Fund’s largest allocation remained in large-cap value equities, which expanded incrementally from 59% of the portfolio in December 2018 to 60% at fiscal year end. US large-cap stocks remained the largest allocation in the Fund’s portfolio, reflecting our view that the asset class offered investors a favorable combination of yield and upside potential following the market’s sharp correction in late 2018.

The Fund’s largest asset shift reflected an increase in exposure to convertible securities, which moved from 1% of the portfolio at the start of the 12-month period to about 4% at fiscal year end. This corresponded to a three-percentage-point decrease in the Fund’s exposure to high yield bonds, which moved from 31% to 28% of the Fund. Meanwhile, the Fund’s weighting in real estate investment trusts (REITs) declined minimally, from about 9% to about 8%.

During the fiscal year, the Fund used foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate the purchase and sale of securities, and written option contracts to manage the Fund’s exposure to changes in securities prices caused by interest rates or market conditions. These derivative securities did not have a material effect on performance during the fiscal year.

A final note: The Fund’s use of leverage – a portfolio management tool designed to obtain a potentially higher return on the Fund’s investments – added to performance in light of the stock market’s increase. Leverage magnifies the effect of gains and losses. As a result, leverage added to the Fund’s results in what was a positive market environment.

Monitoring market conditions

We continue to believe that income-generating securities, such as large-cap value equities, REITs, convertibles, and high yield bonds, have the potential to perform well as markets remain uneven and volatile.

We will continue to closely monitor market conditions as we seek to provide a favorable total return to investors while managing downside risk and seeking potential upside via income-generating securities across multiple asset classes and regions. We also may seek to take advantage of market shifts to increase or decrease exposure to certain asset classes as relative value opportunities emerge.

Performance summary (Unaudited)

Delaware Investments^® Dividend and Income Fund, Inc.

The performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted.

Diversification may not protect against market risk.

Fixed income securities and bond funds can lose value, and investors can lose principal, as interest rates rise. They also may be affected by economic conditions that hinder an issuer’s ability to make interest and principal payments on its debt.

The Fund may also be subject to prepayment risk, the risk that the principal of a bond that is held by a portfolio will be prepaid prior to maturity, at the time when interest rates are lower than what the bond was paying. A portfolio may then have to reinvest that money at a lower interest rate.

High yielding, non-investment-grade bonds (junk bonds) involve higher risk than investment grade bonds.

Narrowly focused investments may exhibit higher volatility than investments in multiple industry sectors.

REIT investments are subject to many of the risks associated with direct real estate ownership, including changes in economic conditions, credit risk, and interest rate fluctuations.

The Fund may invest in derivatives, which may involve additional expenses and are subject to risk, including the risk that an underlying security or securities index moves in the opposite direction from what the portfolio manager anticipated. A derivatives transaction depends upon the counterparties’ ability to fulfill their contractual obligations.

The Fund may experience portfolio turnover in excess of 100%, which could result in higher transaction costs and tax liability.

If and when the Fund invests in forward foreign currency contracts or uses other investments to hedge against currency risks, the Fund will be subject to special risks, including counterparty risk.

The Fund borrows through a line of credit for purposes of leveraging. Leveraging may result in higher degrees of volatility because the Fund’s net asset value could be subject to fluctuations in short-term interest rates and changes in market value of portfolio securities attributable to leverage. Leverage magnifies the potential for gain and the risk of loss. As a result, a relatively small decline in the value of the underlying investments could result in a relatively large loss. In addition, the leverage through the line of credit is dependent on the credit provider’s ability to fulfill its contractual obligations.

Closed-end fund shares do not represent a deposit or obligation of, and are not guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank or other insured depository institution, and are not federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. After being issued during a one-time-only public offering, shares of closed-end funds are sold in the open market through a securities exchange. Net asset value (NAV) is calculated by subtracting total liabilities by total assets, then dividing by the number of shares outstanding. At the time of sale, your shares may have a market price that is above or below NAV, and may be worth more or less than your original investment.

The Fund may make distributions of ordinary income and capital gains at calendar year end. Those distributions may temporarily cause extraordinarily high yields. There is no assurance that a Fund will repeat that yield in the future. Subsequent monthly distributions that do not include ordinary income or capital gains in the form of dividends will likely be lower.

The “Fund performance” table and the “Performance of a $10,000 investment” graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes the shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.

Returns reflect the reinvestment of all distributions. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed, for the purpose of this calculation to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment policy. Shares of the Fund were initially offered with a sales charge of 6%. Performance since inception does not include the sales charge or any other brokerage commission for purchases made since inception.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

¹  The average shares outstanding method has been applied for per share information.

²  Total return is calculated assuming a purchase of common stock on the opening of the first day and a sale on the closing of the last day of each period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for the purpose of this calculation, to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan. Generally, total investment return based on net asset value will be higher than total investment return based on market value in periods where there is an increase in the discount or decrease in the premium of the market value to the net asset value from the beginning to the end of such periods. Conversely, total return based on net asset value will be lower than total return based on market value in periods where there is a decrease in the discount or an increase in the premium of the market value to the net asset value from the beginning to the end of such periods.

³  General Motors term loan litigation was included in total return. If excluded, the impact on the total return would be 0.18% lower. See Note 12 in “Notes to financial statements.”

⁴  The ratio of interest expense to adjusted average net assets (excluding debt outstanding) for the years ended Nov. 30, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, and 2015 were 0.95%, 0.85%, 0.58%, 0.41%, and 0.32%, respectively.

⁵  The ratio of interest expense to average net assets for the years ended Nov. 30, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, and 2015 were 1.35%, 1.23%, 0.84%, 0.59%, and 0.45%, respectively.

⁶  The ratio of expenses before interest expense to adjusted average net assets (excluding debt outstanding) for the years ended Nov. 30, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, and 2015 were 1.26%, 0.86%, 0.87%, 0.95%, and 0.89%, respectively.

⁷  The ratio of net investment income to adjusted average net assets (excluding debt outstanding) for the years ended Nov. 30, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, and 2015 were 2.03%, 1.64%, 2.05%, 2.56%, and 2.85%, respectively.

Notes to financial statements

Delaware Investments^® Dividend and Income Fund, Inc.

November 30, 2019

Delaware Investments Dividend and Income Fund, Inc. (Fund) is organized as a Maryland corporation and is a diversified closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act). The Fund’s shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol DDF.

The Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek high current income; capital appreciation is a secondary objective.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation — Equity securities and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the NYSE on the valuation date. Equity securities and ETFs traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If, on a particular day, an equity security or ETF does not trade, the mean between the bid and ask prices will be used, which approximates fair value. Equity securities listed on a foreign exchange are normally valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. US government and agency securities are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Other debt securities are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker and reviewed by management. To the extent current market prices are not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities. Valuations for fixed income securities utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value (NAV). Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Investments in repurchase agreements are generally valued at par, which approximates fair value, each business day. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (Board). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-US markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00pm Eastern time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. Whenever such a significant event occurs, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing). Restricted securities and private placements are valued at fair value using methods approved by the Board.

Federal and Foreign Income Taxes — No provision for federal income taxes has been made as the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken or expected to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the year ended Nov. 30, 2019 and for all open tax years (years ended Nov. 30, 2016–Nov. 30, 2018), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. In regard to foreign taxes only, the Fund has open tax years in certain foreign countries in which it invests that may date back to the inception of the Fund. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in “Other expenses” on the “Statement of operations.” During the year ended Nov. 30, 2019, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties.

Repurchase Agreements — The Fund may purchase certain US government securities subject to the counterparty’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price. The counterparty will be required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the collateral subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book-entry system with the Fund’s custodian or a third-party sub-custodian. In the event of default

22

or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. At Nov. 30, 2019, the Fund held no investments in repurchase agreements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents include deposits held at financial institutions, which are available for the Fund’s use with no restrictions, with original maturities of 90 days or less.

Distributions — 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. A return of capital may occur for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” Even though the Fund may realize current year capital gains, such gains may be offset, in whole or in part, by the Fund’s capital loss carryovers from prior years. The Fund’s managed distribution policy is described in more detail on the inside front cover of this report.

Foreign Currency Transactions — Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the valuation date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into US dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the US dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund generally bifurcates that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in debt securities which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of debt securities. That portion of gains (losses), which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates, is included on the “Statement of operations” under “Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currencies.” For foreign equity securities, these changes are included on the “Statement of operations” under “Net realized gain (loss) on investments.” The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other — Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Funds^® by Macquarie (Delaware Funds) are generally allocated among such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and certain other expenses are paid monthly. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are accreted or amortized to interest income, respectively, over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Distributions received from investments in real estate investment trusts (REITs) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distributions by the issuer. Distributions received from investments in master limited partnerships are recorded as return of capital on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings, a portion of which may be reclaimable. Withholding taxes and reclaims on foreign dividends have been recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

The Fund receives earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which may be used to offset custody fees. The expenses paid under this arrangement are included on the “Statement of operations” under “Custodian fees” with the corresponding expenses offset included under “Less expenses paid indirectly.” For the year ended Nov. 30, 2019, the Fund earned $522 under this arrangement.

2. Investment Management, Administration Agreements, and Other Transactions with Affiliates

In accordance with the terms of its investment management agreement, the Fund pays Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Macquarie Investment Management Business Trust and the investment manager, an annual fee of 0.55%, calculated daily and paid monthly, of the adjusted average daily net assets of the Fund. For purposes of the calculation of investment management fees, adjusted average daily net assets exclude the line of credit liability.

2. Investment Management, Administration Agreements, and Other Transactions with Affiliates (continued)

Effective Sept. 23, 2019, DMC may permit its affiliates, Macquarie Investment Management Global Limited (MIMGL) and Macquarie Funds Management Hong Kong Limited (together, the “Affiliated Sub-Advisors”), to execute Fund equity security trades on behalf of the Manager. The Manager may also seek quantitative support from MIMGL. Although the Affiliated Sub-Advisors serve as sub-advisors, DMC has ultimate responsibility for all investment advisory services. For these services, DMC, not the Fund, may pay each Affiliated Sub-Advisor a portion of its investment management fee.

Delaware Investments Fund Services Company (DIFSC), an affiliate of DMC provides fund accounting and financial administrative oversight services to the Fund. For these services, DIFSC’s fees are calculated daily and paid monthly based on the aggregate daily net assets (excluding the line of credit liability) of all funds within the Delaware Funds at the following annual rates: 0.00475% of the first $35 billion; 0.0040% of the next $10 billion; and 0.0025% of aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $45 billion (Total Fee). Each fund in the Delaware Funds pays a minimum of $4,000, which, in aggregate, is subtracted from the Total Fee. Each fund then pays its portion of the remainder of the Total Fee on a relative NAV basis. This amount is included on the “Statement of operations” under “Accounting and administration expenses.” For the year ended Nov. 30, 2019, the Fund was charged $8,405 for these services.

As provided in the investment management agreement, the Fund bears a portion of the cost of certain resources shared with DMC, including the cost of internal personnel of DMC and/or its affiliates that provide legal, tax, and regulatory reporting services to the Fund. This amount is included on the “Statement of operations” under “Legal fees.” For the year ended Nov. 30, 2019, the Fund was charged $68,290 for internal legal, tax, and regulatory reporting services provided by DMC and/or its affiliates’ employees.

Directors’ fees include expenses accrued by the Fund for each Director’s retainer and meeting fees. Certain officers of DMC and DIFSC are officers and/or Directors of the Fund. These officers and Directors are paid no compensation by the Fund.

In addition to the management fees and other expenses of the Fund, the Fund indirectly bears the investment management fees and other expenses of the investment companies (Underlying Funds) in which it invests. The amount of these fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund will vary based upon the expense and fee levels of the Underlying Funds and the amount of shares that are owned of the Underlying Funds at different times.

3. Investments

For the year ended Nov. 30, 2019, the Fund made purchases and sales of investment securities other than short-term investments as follows:

Purchases	$	60,238,441
Sales		67,622,029

The tax cost of investments includes adjustments to net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) which may not necessarily be final tax cost basis adjustments, but approximate the tax basis unrealized gains and losses that may be realized and distributed to shareholders. At Nov. 30, 2019, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments for federal income tax purposes for the Fund were as follows:

Cost of investments	$	102,560,245
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments	$	22,181,141
Aggregate unrealized depreciation of investments		(3,047,997	)
Net unrealized appreciation of investments	$	19,133,144

US GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. The Fund’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized on the next page.

24

Level 1	–	Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. (Examples: equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, and exchange-traded options contracts)
Level 2	–	Other observable inputs, including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs. (Examples: debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, and fair valued securities)
Level 3	–	Significant unobservable inputs, including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments. (Examples: broker-quoted securities and fair valued securities)

Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs. The Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity, and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of Nov. 30, 2019:

Securities	Level 1			Level 2			Level 3			Total
Assets:
Common Stock		$	77,277,329		$	—		$	—		$	77,277,329
Convertible Preferred Stock2			557,506			347,801			—			905,307
Corporate Debt1			—			35,284,018			—			35,284,018
Preferred Stock2			171,985			249,307			—			421,292
Exchange-Traded Fund			1,622,572			—			—			1,622,572
Right			81			—			—			81
Short-Term Investments			6,182,790			—			—			6,182,790
Total Value of Securities		$	85,812,263		$	35,881,126		$	—		$	121,693,389

¹The securities that have been valued at zero on the “Schedule of investments” are considered to be a Level 3 investment in this table.

²Security type is valued across multiple levels. Level 1 investments represent exchange-traded investments and Level 2 investments represent investments with observable inputs or matrix-price investments. The amounts attributed to Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments represent the following percentages of the total value of this security type:

	Level 1			Level 2			Total
Convertible Preferred Stock		61.58	%		38.42	%		100.00	%
Preferred Stock		40.82	%		59.18	%		100.00	%

During the year ended Nov. 30, 2019, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments, Level 2 investments, or Level 3 investments that had a significant impact to the Fund. This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments due to the Fund utilizing international fair value pricing during the period. In accordance with the fair valuation procedures described in Note 1, international fair value pricing of securities in the Fund occurs when market volatility exceeds an established rolling threshold. If the threshold is exceeded on a given date, then prices of international securities (those that traded on exchanges that close at a different time than the time that the Fund’s NAV is determined) are established using a separate pricing feed from a third party vendor designed to establish a price for each such security as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is determined. Further, international fair value pricing uses other observable market-based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to the events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded, causing a change in classification between levels. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels based on fair value at the beginning of the reporting period.

3. Investments (continued)

A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when the Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments at the beginning, interim, or end of the period in relation to the Fund’s net assets. Management has determined not to provide a reconciliation of Level 3 investments as the Level 3 investments were not considered significant to the Fund’s net assets at the beginning, interim, or end of the year. Management has determined not to provide additional disclosure on Level 3 investments since the Level 3 investments are not considered significant to the Fund’s net assets at the end of the year.

4. Dividend and Distribution Information

Income and long-term capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. Additionally, distributions from net gains on foreign currency transactions and net short-term gains on sales of investment securities are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended Nov. 30, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:

	Year ended
	11/30/19		11/30/18
Ordinary income	$	1,784,345	$	2,204,452
Long-term capital gains		6,607,280		7,712,503
Total	$	8,391,625	$	9,916,955

5. Components of Net Assets on a Tax Basis

As of Nov. 30, 2019, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:

Shares of beneficial interest	$	65,099,486
Undistributed long-term capital gains		248,706
Net unrealized appreciation of investments and foreign currencies		19,133,144
Net assets	$	84,481,336

The differences between book basis and tax basis components of net assets are primarily attributable to tax deferral of losses on wash sales, tax treatment of contingent payment on debt instruments, partnership income, trust preferred securities, deemed dividend income, and market discount and premium on debt instruments.

6. Capital Stock

Shares obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan are purchased by the Fund’s transfer agent, Computershare, Inc., in the open market. There were no shares issued under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan for the years ended Nov. 30, 2019 and 2018.

The Fund’s Board authorized management to implement a new open-market share repurchase program pursuant to which the Fund may purchase up to 10% of the Fund’s shares, from time to time, in open-market transactions, at the discretion of management. The new share repurchase program commenced on Aug. 1, 2017 and has no stated expiration date.

The Fund did not repurchase shares under any share repurchase program during the years ended Nov. 30, 2019 and 2018.

7. Line of Credit

For the year ended Nov. 30, 2019, the Fund borrowed a portion of the money available to it pursuant to a $40,000,000 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon) that expired on June 14, 2019. Effective June 14, 2019, the Fund entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that is scheduled to terminate on June 12, 2020. Depending on market conditions and amount borrowed, the amount borrowed by the Fund pursuant to the Credit Agreement may be reduced or possibly increased in the future.

At Nov. 30, 2019, the par value of loans outstanding was $35,000,000, at a variable interest rate of 2.45%. The carrying value of the loan approximates fair value. During the year ended Nov. 30, 2019, the average daily balance of loans outstanding was $35,246,575, at a

26

weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.15%. On Dec. 19, 2018, the Fund repaid $5,000,000. Interest on borrowing is based on a variable short-term rate plus an applicable margin. The commitment fee under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was computed at a rate of 0.15% per annum on the unused balance. The rate under Amendment No. 4 to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is computed at a rate of 0.15% per annum on the unused balance. The loan is collateralized by the Fund’s portfolio.

8. Derivatives

US GAAP requires disclosures that enable investors to understand: (1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; (2) how they are accounted for; and (3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the US dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is delivered and paid for. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the US dollar value of securities it already owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. In addition, the Fund may enter into these contracts to facilitate or expedite the settlement of portfolio transactions. The change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities, but does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although foreign currency exchange contracts limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. The risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. No foreign currency exchange contracts were outstanding at Nov. 30, 2019.

During the year ended Nov. 30, 2019, the Fund entered into foreign currency exchange contracts to fix the US dollar value of a security between trade date and settlement date.

During the year ended Nov. 30, 2019, the Fund experienced net realized gains attributable to foreign currency holdings, which are reflected on the “Statement of operations” under “Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency exchange contracts.”

Options Contracts — The Fund may enter into options contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may buy or write options contracts for any number of reasons, including without limitation: to manage the Fund’s exposure to changes in securities prices caused by interest rates or market conditions and foreign currencies; to earn income; as an efficient means of adjusting the Fund’s overall exposure to certain markets; to protect the value of portfolio securities; and as a cash management tool. The Fund may buy or write call or put options on securities. When the Fund buys an option, a premium is paid and an asset is recorded and adjusted on a daily basis to reflect the current market value of the options purchased. When the Fund writes an option, a premium is received and a liability is recorded and adjusted on a daily basis to reflect the current market value of the options written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is treated as realized gain or loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether the Fund has a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. When writing options, the Fund is subject to minimal counterparty risk because the counterparty is only obligated to pay premiums and does not bear the market risk of an unfavorable market change. No options contracts were outstanding at Nov. 30, 2019.

During the year ended Nov. 30, 2019, the Fund entered into written option contracts to manage the Fund’s exposure to changes in securities prices caused by interest rates or market conditions.

During the year ended Nov. 30, 2019, the Fund experienced net realized gains attributable to options written, which are reflected on the “Statement of operations” under “Net realized gain (loss) on options written.”

	Long Derivative Volume			Short Derivative Volume
Foreign currency exchange contracts (average cost)		$	217		$	4,597
Options contracts (average notional value)			—			28,874

9. Securities Lending

The Fund, along with other funds in the Delaware Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with BNY Mellon. At the time a security is loaned, the borrower must post collateral equal to the required percentage of the market value of the loaned security, including any accrued interest. The required percentage is: (1) 102% with respect to US securities and foreign securities that are denominated and payable in US dollars; and (2) 105% with respect to foreign securities. With respect to each loan, if on any business day, the aggregate market value of securities collateral plus cash collateral held is less than the aggregate market value of the securities which are the subject of such loan, the borrower will be notified to provide additional collateral by the end of the following business day, which, together with the collateral already held, will be not less than the applicable initial collateral requirements for such security loan. If the aggregate market value of securities collateral and cash collateral held with respect to a security loan exceeds the applicable initial collateral requirement, upon request of the borrower, BNY Mellon must return enough collateral to the borrower by the end of the following business day to reduce the value of the remaining collateral to the applicable initial collateral requirement for such security loan. As a result of the foregoing, the value of the collateral held with respect to a loaned security on any particular day, may be more or less than the value of the security on loan. The collateral percentage with respect to the market value of the loaned securities is determined by the security lending agent.

Cash collateral received by the Fund is generally invested in a series of individual separate accounts, each corresponding to a fund. The investment guidelines permit each separate account to hold certain securities that would be considered eligible securities for a money market fund. Cash collateral received is generally invested in government securities; certain obligations issued by government sponsored enterprises; repurchase agreements collateralized by US Treasury securities; obligations issued by the central government of any Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) country or its agencies, instrumentalities or establishments; obligations of supranational organizations; commercial paper, notes, bonds and other debt obligations; certificates of deposit, time deposits, and other bank obligations; and asset-backed securities. The Fund can also accept US government securities and letters of credit (non-cash collateral) in connection with securities loans.

In the event of default or bankruptcy by the lending agent, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. In the event the borrower fails to return loaned securities and the collateral received is insufficient to cover the value of the loaned securities and provided such collateral shortfall is not the result of investment losses, the lending agent has agreed to pay the amount of the shortfall to the Fund or, at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. The Fund continues to record dividends or interest, as applicable, on the securities loaned and is subject to changes in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Fund has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. With respect to security loans collateralized by non-cash collateral, the Fund receives loan premiums paid by the borrower. With respect to security loans collateralized by cash collateral, the

28

earnings from the collateral investments are shared among the Fund, the security lending agent, and the borrower. The Fund records security lending income net of allocations to the security lending agent and the borrower.

The Fund may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral. This could occur if an investment in the collateral investment account defaulted or became impaired. Under those circumstances, the value of the Fund’s cash collateral account may be less than the amount the Fund would be required to return to the borrowers of the securities and the Fund would be required to make up for this shortfall.

During the year ended Nov. 30, 2019, the Fund had no securities out on loan.

10. Credit and Market Risk

When interest rates rise, fixed income securities (i.e. debt obligations) generally will decline in value. These declines in value are greater for fixed income securities with longer maturities or durations.

The Fund borrows through its line of credit for purposes of leveraging. Leveraging may result in higher degrees of volatility because the Fund’s NAV could be subject to fluctuations in short-term interest rates and changes in market value of portfolio securities attributable to the leverage. Leverage magnifies the potential for gain and the risk of loss. As a result, a relatively small decline in the value of the underlying investments could result in a relatively large loss. In addition, the leverage through the line of credit is dependent on the credit provider’s ability to fulfill its contractual obligations.

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital, or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid, and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

The Fund invests a portion of its assets in high yield fixed income securities, which are securities rated BB or lower by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC and Ba or lower by Moody’s Investors Service Inc., or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Investments in these higher yielding securities are generally accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk than higher rated securities. Additionally, lower rated securities may be more susceptible to adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than investment grade securities.

The Fund invests in certain obligations that may have liquidity protection designed to ensure that the receipt of payments due on the underlying security is timely. Such protection may be provided through guarantees, insurance policies, or letters of credit obtained by the issuer or sponsor through third parties, through various means of structuring the transaction or through a combination of such approaches. The Fund will not pay any additional fees for such credit support, although the existence of credit support may increase the price of a security.

The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund holds real estate directly as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company may be jeopardized. There were no direct real estate holdings during the year ended Nov. 30, 2019. The Fund’s REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating-rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.

The Fund invests in bank loans and other securities that may subject it to direct indebtedness risk, the risk that the Fund will not receive payment of principal, interest, and other amounts due in connection with these investments and will depend primarily on the financial condition of the borrower. Loans that are fully secured offer the Fund more protection than unsecured loans in the event of nonpayment of scheduled interest or principal, although there is no assurance that the liquidation of collateral from a secured loan would satisfy the corporate borrower’s obligation, or that the collateral can be liquidated. Some loans or claims may be in default at the time of purchase. Certain of the loans and the other direct indebtedness acquired by the Fund may involve revolving credit facilities or other standby financing commitments that obligate the Fund to pay additional cash on a certain date or on demand. These commitments may require the Fund to increase its investment in a company at a time when the Fund might not otherwise decide to do so (including at a time when the company’s financial condition makes it unlikely that such amounts will be repaid). To the extent that the Fund is committed to advance additional funds, it will at all times hold and maintain cash or other high grade debt obligations in an amount sufficient to meet such commitments. When a loan agreement is purchased, the Fund may

(continues) 29

10. Credit and Market Risk (continued)

pay an assignment fee. On an ongoing basis, the Fund may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit portion of a loan agreement. Prepayment penalty fees are received upon the prepayment of a loan agreement by a borrower. Prepayment penalty, facility, commitment, consent, and amendment fees are recorded to income as earned or paid.

As the Fund may be required to rely upon another lending institution to collect and pass on to the Fund amounts payable with respect to the loan and to enforce the Fund’s rights under the loan and other direct indebtedness, an insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the lending institution may delay or prevent the Fund from receiving such amounts. The highly leveraged nature of many loans may make them especially vulnerable to adverse changes in economic or market conditions. Investments in such loans and other direct indebtedness may involve additional risk to the Fund.

The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Board has delegated to DMC, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Fund’s 10% limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A securities have been identified on the “Schedule of investments.” Restricted securities are valued pursuant to the security valuation procedures described in Note 1.

11. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

12. General Motors Term Loan Litigation

The Fund received notice of a litigation proceeding related to a General Motors Corporation (G.M.) term loan participation previously held by the Fund in 2009. Because it was believed that the Fund was a secured creditor, the Fund received the full principal on the loans in 2009 after the G.M. bankruptcy. However, based upon a US Court of Appeals ruling, the Motors Liquidation Company Avoidance Action Trust sought to recover such amounts arguing that the Fund was an unsecured creditor and, as an unsecured creditor, the Fund should not have received payment in full. Based upon available information related to the litigation and the Fund’s potential exposure, the Fund recorded a contingent liability of $65,058 and an asset of $216,859 based on the potential recoveries by the estate that resulted in a net decrease in the Fund’s NAV to reflect this potential recovery.

During the year, the plaintiff and the term loan lenders, which included the Fund, reached an agreement that resolved the disputes. The parties agreed to terms on a settlement agreement and presented the settlement agreement to the court for approval at a hearing on June 12, 2019. The court approved the settlement documentation and dismissed the case on July 2, 2019. The court’s approval of the settlement and dismissal of the case with prejudice became final on July 16, 2019.

The contingent liability and other asset were removed in connection with the case being settled, which resulted in the Fund recognizing a gain in the amount of the liability reversed.

13. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2017, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2017-08, Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities which amends the amortization period for certain callable debt securities purchased at a premium, shortening such period to the earliest call date. The ASU 2017-08 does not require any accounting change for debt securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after Dec. 15, 2018. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the financial statements.

30

In August 2018, the FASB issued an ASU 2018-13, which changes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The ASU 2018-13, in addition to other modifications and additions, removes the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for the timing of transfers between levels and the valuation process for Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after Dec. 15, 2019. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the financial statements.

14. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to Nov. 30, 2019, that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Dividend reinvestment plan

The Fund offers an automatic dividend reinvestment program (“Plan”). Shareholders who have shares registered in their own names are automatically considered participants in the Plan, unless they elect to withdraw from the Plan. Shareholders who hold their shares through a bank, broker, or other nominee should request the bank, broker, or nominee to participate in the Plan on their behalf. This can be done as long as the bank, broker, or nominee provides a dividend reinvestment service for the Fund. If the bank, broker, or nominee does not provide this service, such shareholders must have their shares taken out of “street” or nominee name and re-registered in their own name in order to participate in the Plan.

Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (“Computershare”) will apply all cash dividends, capital gains and other distributions (collectively, “Distributions”) on the Fund’s shares of common stock which become payable to each Plan participant to the purchase of outstanding shares of the Fund’s common stock for such participant. These purchases may be made on a securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market, and may be subject to such terms of price, delivery, and related matters to which Computershare may agree. The Fund will not issue new shares in connection with the Plan.

Distributions reinvested for participants are subject to income taxes just as if they had been paid directly to the shareholder in cash. Participants will receive a year-end statement showing distributions reinvested, and any brokerage commissions paid on such participant’s behalf.

Shareholders holding shares of the Fund in their own names who wish to terminate their participation in the Plan may do so by sending written instruction to Computershare so that Computershare receives such instructions by the Distribution record date. Shareholders with shares held in account by a bank, broker, or other nominee should contact such bank, broker, or other nominee to determine the procedure for withdrawal from the Plan.

If written instructions are not received by Computershare by the record date for a particular Distribution, that Distribution may be reinvested at the sole discretion of Computershare. After a shareholder’s instructions to terminate participation in the Plan become effective, Distributions will be paid to shareholders in cash. Upon termination, a shareholder may elect to receive either stock or cash for all the full shares in the account. If cash is elected, Computershare will sell such shares at the weighted average sale price obtained by Computershare’s broker for all shares sold on such batch on the applicable trade date or dates and then send the net proceeds to the shareholder, after deducting any applicable

36

transaction fees, per share fees, and related expenses. Any fractional shares at the time of termination will be paid in cash at the current market price, less any applicable transaction fees, per share fees, and related expenses, if any. Shareholders may at any time request a full or partial withdrawal of shares from the Plan, without terminating participation in the Plan. When shares outside of the Plan are liquidated, Distributions on shares held under the Plan will continue to be reinvested unless Computershare is notified of the shareholder’s withdrawal from the Plan.

An investor holding shares that participate in the Plan in a brokerage account may not be able to transfer the shares to another broker and continue to participate in the Plan. Please contact your broker/dealer for additional details.

Computershare will charge participants their proportional share of the per share fees on market purchases. Participants may obtain a certificate or certificates for all or part of the full shares credited to their accounts at any time by making a request in writing to Computershare. A fee may be charged to the participant for each certificate issuance.

If you have any questions and shares are registered in your name, contact Computershare at 866 437-0252 or P.O. Box 505000,

Louisville, KY 40233-5000. If you have any questions and shares are registered in “street” name, contact the broker/dealer holding the shares or your financial advisor.

Effective Aug. 1, 2008, the Dividend Reinvestment Plan may be amended by the Fund upon 20 days written notice to the Plan’s participants.

Section 19(a) notices

The following table sets forth the estimated amount of the sources of distribution for purposes of Section 19 of the 1940 Act, as amended, and the related rules adopted thereunder. The Fund estimates the following percentages, of the total distribution amount per share, attributable to (i) net investment income, (ii) net realized short-term capital gain, (iii) net realized long-term capital gain, and (iv) return of capital or other capital source. These percentages are disclosed for the fiscal year-to-date cumulative distribution amount per share for the Fund.

The amounts and sources of distributions reported in these 19(a) notices are only estimates and not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund’s investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. Shareholders will receive a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.

Total Cumulative Distributions for the year ended November 30, 2019
	Net Realized	Net Realized		Total Per
	Short-Term	Long-Term	Return of	Common
Net Investment Income	Capital Gains	Capital Gains	Capital	Share
$0.2564	$0.0000	$0.7643	$0.0708	$1.0915

Net Investment Income	Capital Gains	Capital Gains	Capital	Share
23.50%	—	70.00%	6.50%	100.00%

Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of these distributions or from the terms of the Fund’s managed distribution policy. The Fund estimates (as of the date hereof) that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains for the current fiscal year; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” The Fund’s managed distribution policy is described in more detail on the inside front cover of this report.

Presented below are return figures, based on the change in the Fund’s net asset value per share (“NAV”), compared to the annualized distribution rate as a percentage of the NAV as of Nov. 30, 2019.

^^ Cumulative distribution rate is the cumulative amount of distributions paid during the Fund’s fiscal year ending Nov. 30, 2019 based on the Fund’s NAV as of Nov. 30, 2019.

*Cumulative total return is based on the change in NAV including distributions paid and assuming reinvestment of these distributions for the period Dec. 1, 2018 through Nov. 30, 2019.

**The 5-year average annual total return is based on change in NAV including distributions paid and assuming reinvestment of these distributions and is through the last business day of the month prior to the month of the current distribution record date.

While the NAV performance may be indicative of the Fund’s investment performance, it does not measure the value of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund. The value of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund is determined by the Fund’s market price, which is based on the supply and demand for the Fund’s shares in the open market.

Tax information

The information set forth below is for the Fund’s fiscal year as required by federal income tax laws. Shareholders, however, must report distributions on a calendar year basis for income tax purposes, which may include distributions for portions of two fiscal years of the Fund. Accordingly, the information needed by shareholders for income tax purposes will be sent to them in January of each year. Please consult your tax advisor for proper treatment of this information.

All disclosures are based on financial information available as of the date of this annual report and, accordingly are subject to change. For any and all items requiring reporting, it is the intention of the Fund to report the maximum amount permitted under the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder.

For the fiscal year ended Nov. 30, 2019, the Fund reports distributions paid during the year as follows:

The Board was satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of the overall services provided by DMC.

Nature, extent, and quality of services. The Board considered the services provided by MIMGL, MFMHK, and MIMEL to the Fund and its shareholders. In reviewing the nature, extent, and quality of services, the Board considered reports furnished to it throughout the year at regular Board Meetings covering matters such as relative performance of the Fund; compliance of portfolio managers with the investment policies, strategies, and restrictions for the Fund, the compliance of MIMGL, MFMHK, and MIMEL personnel with its Code of Ethics; and adherence to fair value pricing procedures as established by the Board. The Board was pleased with the current staffing of MIMGL, MFMHK, and MIMEL and the emphasis placed on research in the investment process. The Board was satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of the overall services provided by MIMGL, MFMHK, and MIMEL.

Investment performance. The Board placed significant emphasis on the investment performance of the Fund in view of the importance of investment performance to shareholders. Although the Board considered performance reports and discussions with portfolio managers at Board meetings throughout the year, the Board gave particular weight to the Broadridge reports furnished for the Annual Meeting. The Broadridge reports prepared for the Fund showed the investment performance of its shares in comparison to a group of similar funds as selected by Broadridge (the “Performance Universe”). A fund with the highest performance ranked first, and a fund with the lowest ranked last. The highest/best performing 25% of funds in the Performance Universe make up the first quartile; the next 25%, the second quartile; the next 25%, the third quartile; and the lowest/worst performing 25% of funds in the Performance Universe make up the fourth quartile. Comparative annualized performance for the Fund was shown for the past 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods, to the extent applicable, ended Jan. 31, 2019. The Board’s objective is that the Fund’s performance for the 1-, 3-, and 5-year periods be at or above the median of its Performance Universe.

The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all leveraged closed-end income and preferred stock funds as selected by Broadridge. The Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the 1-year period was in the third quartile of its Performance Universe. The report further showed that the Fund’s total return for the 3-year period was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe and the Fund’s total return for the 5- and 10-year periods was in the second quartile of its Performance Universe. The Board was satisfied with performance.

Comparative expenses. The Board considered expense data for the Delaware Funds. Management provided the Board with information on pricing levels and fee structures for the Fund as of its most recently completed fiscal year. The Board also focused on the comparative analysis of effective management fees and total expense ratios of the Fund versus effective management fees and expense ratios of a group of similar closed-end funds as selected by Broadridge (the “Expense Group”). In reviewing comparative costs, the Fund’s contractual management fee and the actual management fee incurred by the Fund were compared with the contractual management fees (assuming all funds in the Expense Group were similar in size to the Fund) and actual management fees (as reported by each fund) within the Expense Group, taking into account

40

any applicable breakpoints and fee waivers. The Fund’s total expenses were also compared with those of its Expense Group. The Board’s objective is for each Fund’s total expense ratio to be competitive with those of the peer funds within its Expense Group.

The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was in the quartile with the lowest expenses of its Expense Group and its total expenses were in the quartile with the second lowest expenses of its Expense Group. The Board was satisfied with the management fee and total expenses of the Fund in comparison to those of its Expense Group.

Management profitability. The Board considered the level of profits, if any, realized by DMC in connection with the operation of the Fund. In this respect, the Board reviewed the Investment Management Profitability Analysis that addressed the overall profitability of DMC’s business in providing management and other services to each of the individual funds and the Delaware Funds as a whole. Specific attention was given to the methodology used by DMC in allocating costs for the purpose of determining profitability. Management stated that the level of profits of DMC, to a certain extent, reflects recent operational cost savings and efficiencies initiated by DMC. The Board considered DMC’s efforts to improve services provided to Fund shareholders and to meet additional regulatory and compliance requirements resulting from recent industry-wide Securities and Exchange Commission initiatives. The Board also considered the extent to which DMC might derive ancillary benefits from fund operations, including the potential for procuring additional business as a result of the prestige and visibility associated with its role as service provider to the Delaware Funds and the benefits from allocation of fund brokerage to improve trading efficiencies. As part of its work, the Board also reviewed a report prepared by JDL regarding MIMBT profitability as compared to certain peer fund complexes and the Independent Directors discussed with JDL personnel regarding DMC’s profitability in such context. The Board found that the management fees were reasonable in light of the services rendered and the profitability of DMC.

Economies of scale. As a closed-end fund, the Fund does not issue shares on a continuous basis. Fund assets, therefore, increase primarily as a result of the increase in value of the underlying securities in the Fund. Accordingly, the Board determined that the Fund was not likely to experience significant economies of scale due to asset growth and, therefore, a fee schedule with breakpoints to pass the benefit of economies of scale on to shareholders was not likely to provide the intended effect.

Board of trustees / directors and officers addendum

A fund is governed by a Board of Trustees / Directors (“Trustees”), which has oversight responsibility for the management of a fund’s business affairs.

The Audit Committee has determined that the independent auditors’ provision of these services is compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence.

Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants

The registrant has a separately-designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The members of the registrant’s Audit Committee are Jerome D. Abernathy, John A. Fry, Thomas K. Whitford and Christianna Wood.

Item 6. Investments

(a) Included as part of report to shareholders filed under Item 1 of this Form N-CSR.

(b) Divestment of securities in accordance with Section 13(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Not applicable.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies

The registrant has formally delegated to its investment adviser (the “Adviser”) the responsibility for making all proxy voting decisions in relation to portfolio securities held by the registrant. If and when proxies need to be voted on behalf of the registrant, the Adviser will vote such proxies pursuant to its Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures (the “Procedures”). The Adviser has established a Proxy Voting Committee (the “Committee”), which is responsible for overseeing the Adviser’s proxy voting process for the registrant. One of the main responsibilities of the Committee is to review and approve the Procedures to ensure that the Procedures are designed to allow the Adviser to vote proxies in a manner consistent with the goal of voting in the best interests of the registrant.

In order to facilitate the actual process of voting proxies, the Adviser has contracted with Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (“ISS”) to analyze proxy statements on behalf of the registrant and other Adviser clients and vote proxies generally in accordance with the Procedures. The Committee is responsible for overseeing ISS’s proxy voting activities. If a proxy has been voted for the registrant, ISS will create a record of the vote. By no later than August 31 of each year, information (if any) regarding how the registrant voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recently disclosed 12-month period ended June 30 is available without charge (i) through the registrant’s website at delawarefunds.com/proxy; and (ii) on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at sec.gov.

The Procedures contain a general guideline stating that recommendations of company management on an issue (particularly routine issues) should be given a fair amount of weight in determining how proxy issues should be voted. However, the Adviser will normally vote against management’s position when it runs counter to its specific Proxy Voting Guidelines (the “Guidelines”), and the Adviser will also vote against management’s recommendation when it believes that such position is not in the best interests of the registrant.

As stated above, the Procedures also list specific Guidelines on how to vote proxies on behalf of the registrant. Some examples of the Guidelines are as follows: (i) generally vote for shareholder proposals asking that a majority or more of directors be independent; (ii) generally vote against proposals to require a supermajority shareholder vote; (iii) votes on mergers and acquisitions should be considered on a case-by-case basis; (iv) generally vote against proposals at companies with more than one class of common stock to increase the number of authorized shares of the class that has superior voting rights; (v) generally vote re-incorporation proposals on a case-by-case basis; (vi) votes with respect to equity-based compensation plans are generally determined on a case-by-case basis; and (vii) generally vote for requests for reports on the feasibility of developing renewable energy resources unless the report is duplicative of existing disclosure or irrelevant to the company’s line of business.

Because the registrant has delegated proxy voting to the Adviser, the registrant is not expected to encounter any conflict of interest issues regarding proxy voting and therefore does not have procedures regarding this matter. However, the Adviser does have a section in its Procedures that addresses the possibility of conflicts of interest. Most proxies that the Adviser receives on behalf of the registrant are voted by ISS in accordance with the Procedures. Because almost all of the registrant proxies are voted by ISS pursuant to the predetermined Procedures, it normally will not be necessary for the Adviser to make an actual determination of how to vote a particular proxy, thereby largely eliminating conflicts of interest for the Adviser during the proxy voting process. In the very limited instances where the Adviser is considering voting a proxy contrary to ISS’s recommendation, the Committee will first assess the issue to see if there is any possible conflict of interest involving the Adviser or affiliated persons of the Adviser. If a member of the Committee has actual knowledge of a conflict of interest, the Committee will normally use another independent third party to do additional research on the particular proxy issue in order to make a recommendation to the Committee on how to vote the proxy in the best interests of the registrant. The Committee will then review the proxy voting materials and recommendation provided by ISS and the independent third party to determine how to vote the issue in a manner that the Committee believes is consistent with the Procedures and in the best interests of the registrant.

DESCRIPTION OF MATERIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Individual portfolio managers may perform investment management services for other funds or accounts similar to those provided to the Funds and the investment action for such other fund or account and the Funds may differ. For example, an account or fund may be selling a security, while another account or fund may be purchasing or holding the same security. As a result, transactions executed for one fund or account may adversely affect the value of securities held by another fund, account or the Funds. Additionally, the management of multiple other funds or accounts and the Funds may give rise to potential conflicts of interest, as a portfolio manager must allocate time and effort to multiple other funds or accounts and the Funds. A portfolio manager may discover an investment opportunity that may be suitable for more than one account or fund. The investment opportunity may be limited, however, so that all funds or accounts for which the investment would be suitable may not be able to participate. The Adviser has adopted procedures designed to allocate investments fairly across multiple funds or accounts.

Some of the accounts managed by the portfolio managers have a performance-based fee. This compensation structure presents a potential conflict of interest. The portfolio manager has an incentive to manage this account so as to enhance its performance, to the possible detriment of other accounts for which the investment manager does not receive a performance-based fee.

A portfolio manager’s management of personal accounts also may present certain conflicts of interest. While Delaware’s code of ethics is designed to address these potential conflicts, there is no guarantee that it will do so.

Compensation Structure

Each portfolio’s manager’s compensation consists of the following:

Base Salary – Each named portfolio manager receives a fixed base salary. Salaries are determined by a comparison to industry data prepared by third parties to ensure that portfolio manager salaries are in line with salaries paid at peer investment advisory firms.

Bonus – (Mr. Lalvani, Ms. Bartholdson and Mr. Vogel only) Each named portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus. The bonus pool is determined by the revenues associated with the products a portfolio manager manages. Macquarie Investment Management keeps a percentage of the revenues and the remaining percentage of revenues (minus appropriate expenses associated with relevant product and the investment management team) creates the "bonus pool" for the product. Various members of the team have the ability to earn a percentage of the bonus pool. The pool is allotted based on subjective factors and objective factors. The primary objective factor is the 1-, 3-, and 5-year performance of the funds managed relative to the performance of the appropriate Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (formerly, Lipper Inc.) (“Broadridge”) peer groups and the performance of institutional composites relative to the appropriate indices. Three- and five-year performance is weighted more heavily and there is no objective award for a fund whose performance falls below the 50th percentile for a given time period.

Individual allocations of the bonus pool are based on individual performance measurements, both objective and subjective, as determined by senior management.

(Mr. Andres and Mr. Zenouzi only) Each named portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus. The bonus pool is determined by the revenues associated with the products a portfolio manager manages. Macquarie Investment Management keeps a percentage of the revenues and the remaining percentage of revenues (minus appropriate expenses associated with relevant product and the investment management team) creates the "bonus pool" for the product. Various members of the team have the ability to earn a percentage of the bonus pool with the most senior contributor generally having the largest share. The pool is allotted based on subjective factors (50%) and objective factors (50%). The primary objective factor is the 1-, 3-, and 5-year performance of the funds managed relative to the performance of the appropriate Broadridge peer groups and the performance of institutional composites relative to the appropriate indices. Three- and five-year performance is weighed more heavily and there is no objective award for a fund whose performance falls below the 50th percentile for a given time period.

Individual allocations of the bonus pool are based on individual performance measurements, both objective and subjective, as determined by senior management.

(Mr. Anglace, Mr. Brown, Mr. Dembek, Mr. Early, Mr. Matlack and Mr. McCarthy only) An objective component is added to the bonus for each manager that is reflective of account performance relative to an appropriate peer group or database. The following paragraph describes the structure of the non-guaranteed bonus.

Each portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus, which is based on quantitative and qualitative factors. There is one pool for bonus payments for the fixed income department. The pool is allotted based on subjective factors and objective factors. The amount of the pool for bonus payments is determined by assets managed (including investment companies, insurance product-related accounts and other separate accounts), management fees and related expenses (including fund waiver expenses) for registered investment companies, pooled vehicles, and managed separate accounts. For investment companies, each manager is compensated according to the Fund’s Broadridge or Morningstar peer group percentile ranking on a 1-, 3-, and 5-year basis, with longer term performance more heavily weighted. For managed separate accounts the portfolio managers are compensated according to the composite percentile ranking against the eVestment Alliance database (or similar sources of relative performance data) on a one-, three-, and five-year basis, with longer term performance more heavily weighted; composite performance relative to the benchmark is also evaluated for the same time periods. Incentives reach maximum potential at the top 25th-30th percentile. The remaining portion of the bonus is discretionary as determined by Macquarie Investment Management and takes into account subjective factors.

For new and recently transitioned portfolio managers, the compensation may be weighted more heavily towards a portfolio manager’s actual contribution and ability to influence performance, rather than longer-term performance. Management intends to move the compensation structure towards longer-term performance for these portfolio managers over time.

Portfolio managers participate in retention programs, including the Macquarie Investment Management Notional Investment Plan and the Macquarie Group Employee Retained Equity Plan, for alignment of interest purposes.

Macquarie Investment Management Notional Investment Plan - A portion of a portfolio manager’s retained profit share may be notionally exposed to the return of certain funds within MIM Funds pursuant to the terms of the Macquarie Investment Management Notional Investment Plan. The retained amount will vest in equal tranches over a period ranging from four to five years after the date of investment (depending on the level of the employee).

Macquarie Group Employee Retained Equity Plan - A portion of a portfolio manager’s retained profit share may be invested in the Macquarie Group Employee Retained Equity Plan (“MEREP”), which is used to deliver remuneration in the form of Macquarie equity. The main type of award currently being offered under the MEREP is units comprising a beneficial interest in a Macquarie share held in a trust for the employee, subject to the vesting and forfeiture provisions of the MEREP. Subject to vesting conditions, vesting and release of the shares occurs in a period ranging from four to five years after the date of investment (depending on the level of the employee).

Other Compensation - Portfolio managers may also participate in benefit plans and programs available generally to all similarly situated employees.

Ownership of Securities

As of November 30, 2019, the portfolio managers did not own any shares of the Fund.
