Proxy statement

Annual meeting of shareholders to be held on February 18, 2010
This proxy statement is furnished to the shareholders of Global High Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) in connection with the solicitation by the board of directors of proxies to be exercised at the annual meeting of the shareholders of the Fund to be held on February 18, 2010, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time, on the 14th Floor of the UBS Building located at 1285 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10019-6028, or any adjournment or postponement thereof. This proxy statement and the related proxy card will first be mailed to shareholders on or about December 30, 2009.

The presence of a majority of the shares outstanding on December 18, 2009, represented in person or by proxy, is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the meeting. In the event that a quorum is not present at the annual meeting, or if a quorum is present at the annual meeting but sufficient votes to approve any of the proposals are not received, the chairman of the meeting or, if a proposal to adjourn is submitted to a vote of shareholders, the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy (or by a majority of votes cast on the adjournment if a quorum is present) will have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until the requisite number of shares entitled to vote at the meeting is present. A shareholder vote may be taken on one or more of the proposals in this proxy statement prior to any such adjournment if sufficient votes have been received and it is otherwise appropriate.

Broker non-votes are proxies for shares held in street name for which the broker indicates that instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or other persons entitled to vote and for which the broker does not have discretionary voting authority. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as shares present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present but will not be voted for or against any proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on Proposal 1, for which the required vote is a plurality of the votes cast on the matter.

The individuals named as proxies on the enclosed proxy card will vote in accordance with your direction as indicated thereon if your proxy card is received properly executed by you or by your duly appointed agent or attorney-in-fact. If you give no voting instructions, your shares will be voted FOR the six nominees for directors named herein and, in the proxies’ discretion, either FOR or AGAINST any other business that may properly be presented at the annual meeting. You may revoke any proxy card by giving another proxy or by submitting a written notice of revocation to the Fund’s Secretary care of UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc., UBS Tower, One North Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60606. To be effective, your revocation must be received by the Fund prior to the meeting and must indicate your name and account number. In addition, if you attend the annual meeting in person you may, if you wish, vote by ballot at the meeting, thereby cancelling any proxy previously given.

As of the record date, December 18, 2009, the Fund had 21,591,836 shares of common stock outstanding. The solicitation of proxies, the cost of which will be borne by the Fund, will be made primarily by mail

but also may include telephone or oral communications by regular employees of UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”) or UBS Financial Services Inc., who will not receive any compensation therefore from the Fund. Each full share of the Fund outstanding is entitled to one vote, and each fractional share of the Fund outstanding is entitled to a proportionate share of one vote.

UBS Global AM serves as the Fund’s investment advisor and administrator. UBS Global AM is an indirect wholly owned asset management subsidiary of UBS AG. UBS AG is an internationally diversified organization with headquarters in Zurich and Basel, Switzerland. UBS AG operates in many areas of the financial services industry. Principal business offices of UBS Global AM are located at 1285 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10019-6028 and at One North Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606. The principal business address of UBS AG is Bahnhofstrasse 45, Zurich, Switzerland.

The Fund’s annual report containing financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, is being mailed to shareholders concurrently with this proxy statement.

Proposal 1. Election of directors

Proposal 1 relates to the election of directors of the Fund. Management proposes the election of the six nominees named in the table below. Each nominee has indicated his or her willingness to serve if elected. If elected, each nominee will hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until his or her successor is elected and qualifies, or until he or she resigns or is otherwise removed. Each of the nominees was last elected director at an Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on February 19, 2009. If you properly execute and return the enclosed proxy card, unless you give contrary instructions on the proxy card, then your shares will be voted FOR the election of all six nominees. If any of the nominees should withdraw or otherwise become unavailable for election, your shares will be voted FOR such other nominee or nominees as management may recommend.

Directors, including those who are not “interested persons” of the Fund as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”) (“Independent Directors”), shall be elected by the affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of votes cast in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, provided a quorum is present. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named. None of the current directors and executive officers (20 persons) beneficially owned any shares of the Fund on November 30, 2009.

It is the Board’s policy that each member invest the equivalent of a minimum of one year’s Board member’s fees (consisting for this purpose of the annual retainer fee and fees for attending regularly scheduled in-person board meetings), in the aggregate, before changes in market value, in the funds in the fund complex overseen by the Board (the “New York Fund Complex”). Such investments by a Board member may be dispersed across a number of funds, and may not necessarily be made in any one particular fund.

As of December 31, 2008, the Independent Directors or their immediate family members did not own any securities issued by UBS Global AM or any company controlling, controlled by or under common control with UBS Global AM.

The board of directors of the Fund met eight times during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009. Each director attended 75% or more of the board meetings during the last fiscal year. The Fund’s directors are not required to attend the Fund’s annual meetings, and no directors attended the annual meeting of shareholders in 2009.

The board has established an Audit Committee that acts pursuant to a written charter (“Audit Committee Charter”) and is responsible for, among other things: (i) overseeing the scope of the Fund’s audit; (ii) overseeing the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies, practices and internal controls; and (iii) approving, and recommending to the board for ratification, the selection, appointment, retention or termination of the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, as well as determining the compensation thereof. The Audit Committee Charter is available on UBS Global AM’s Web site at http://www.ubs.com/1/e/globalam/Americas/globalamus/ globalamusii/closed_end_funds.html, and a copy of the charter is attached as Exhibit A. In furtherance of its duties, the Audit Committee is also responsible for, among other things: receiving reports from the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding its independence and discussing any disclosed relationships or services that may diminish the objectivity and independence of the registered public accounting firm; inquiring of UBS Global AM and the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm as to the Fund’s qualification under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and the amounts distributed and reported to shareholders;

6

and reviewing with the independent registered public accounting firm any problems or difficulties the independent registered public accounting firm may have encountered during the conduct of the audit.

Although the Audit Committee has the responsibilities set forth in its Audit Committee Charter and described above, it is not responsible for planning or conducting the Fund’s audit or determining whether the Fund’s financial statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles. In fulfilling their responsibilities under the Fund’s Audit Committee Charter, it is recognized that (i) the members of the Fund’s Audit Committee are not full-time employees of the Fund; (ii) it is not the duty or the responsibility of the Audit Committee or its members to conduct “field work” or other types of auditing or accounting reviews or procedures or to set auditor independence standards; and (iii) each member of the Audit Committee shall be entitled to rely on: (a) the integrity of those persons within or outside of the Fund from whom he or she receives information; (b) the accuracy of the financial and other information provided to the Committee absent actual knowledge to the contrary (which shall be promptly reported to the Board); and (c) statements made by the officers and employees of the Fund, UBS Global AM or other third parties as to any information technology, internal audit and other non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund. The review of the Fund’s financial statements by the Fund’s Audit Committee is not of the same quality as the audit performed by the independent registered public accounting firm.

None of the members of the Audit Committee has any relationship to the Fund that may interfere with the exercise of his or her independence from management or the Fund, and each is independent as defined under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) applicable to closed-end funds. Each member of the Fund’s Audit Committee is also a member of a similar committee established by the boards of certain other investment companies for which UBS Global AM or an affiliate serves as investment advisor, sub-advisor or manager. The Audit Committee met seven times during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, and each member attended 75% or more of those meetings.

The Fund’s Audit Committee has: (a) reviewed and discussed the Fund’s audited financial statements with management; (b) discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) in Rule 3200T; (c) received certain written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, as adopted by the PCAOB in Rule 3600T, and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence; and (d) based upon its review of the above, recommended to the board that the Fund’s audited financial statements be included in the Fund’s annual report to shareholders for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009. The members of the Audit Committee are Richard Q. Armstrong, Alan S. Bernikow, Richard R. Burt, Bernard H. Garil and Heather R. Higgins. In addition to serving on the Audit Committee, Mr. Bernikow currently serves as a member of the audit committees of at least three other public companies not affiliated with the New York Fund Complex. The Board has determined that Mr. Bernikow’s simultaneous service on the audit committees of these other public companies does not impair his ability to effectively serve on the Audit Committee.

The board has also established a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee that acts pursuant to a written charter (“Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter”). The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for, among other things, identifying, selecting, evaluating and recommending to the board candidates to be nominated as additional Independent

7

Directors of the board; making recommendations to the board with respect to compensation of board and committee members; overseeing an annual evaluation of the board and its committees; reporting on such evaluation to the board; and performing such other corporate governance functions as the board may from time to time delegate to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. A copy of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter is not available on UBS Global AM’s Web site, but a copy of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter is attached as Exhibit B. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee currently consists of Messrs. Burt and Garil and Ms. Higgins, none of whom is an “interested person” for purposes of the 1940 Act, and all of whom are independent as defined under the listing standards of the NYSE applicable to closed-end funds. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met four times during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, and each member attended 75% or more of those meetings.

In nominating candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that no specific qualifications or disqualifications are controlling or paramount, and does not believe that specific qualities or skills are necessary for each candidate to possess. In identifying and evaluating nominees for director, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee takes into consideration such factors as it deems appropriate. These factors may include: (i) whether or not the person is an “interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act, meets the independence and experience requirements of the NYSE applicable to closed-end funds and is otherwise qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a member of the board; (ii) whether or not the person has any relationships that might impair his or her independence, such as any business, financial or family relationships with Fund management, the investment advisor and/or sub-advisors of the Fund, Fund service providers or their affiliates; (iii) whether or not the person is willing to serve, and willing and able to commit the time necessary for the performance of the duties of a board member; (iv) the person’s judgment, skill, diversity and experience with investment companies and other organizations of comparable purpose, complexity and size and subject to similar legal restrictions and oversight; (v) the interplay of the candidate’s experience with the experience of other board members; and (vi) the extent to which the candidate would be a desirable addition to the board and any committees thereof.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by shareholders if a vacancy occurs. In order to recommend a nominee, a shareholder should send a letter to the chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, Mr. Richard Burt, care of the Secretary of the Fund at UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc., UBS Tower, One North Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60606 and indicate on the envelope “Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.” The shareholder’s letter should state the nominee’s name and should include the nominee’s résumé or curriculum vitae and must be accompanied by a written consent of the individual to stand for election if nominated by the board and to serve if elected by shareholders. The board does not have a standing compensation committee. Shareholders can send other communications to the board care of its Chairman at the following address: Mr. Richard Q. Armstrong—UBS Funds, c/o Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, 787 Seventh Avenue, New York, NY 10019.

Each Independent Director receives, in the aggregate from the UBS Global AM funds of which he or she is a director, an annual retainer of $100,000 and a $15,000 fee for each regular joint board meeting of the boards of those funds (and each in person special joint board meeting of the boards of those funds) actually attended. Independent Directors who participate in previously scheduled in-person joint meetings of the boards of the UBS Global AM funds by telephone to accommodate other business obligations are paid $2,000 for such meetings. Independent Directors who participate in previously scheduled in-person joint meetings of the boards of the UBS Global AM funds by telephone because of illness or other unavoidable

8

circumstances are paid the full meeting fee. Each Independent Director receives from the relevant fund $2,000 for each special in-person meeting (not held as a joint meeting) of the board of that fund actually attended where a fund’s board must meet separately from the regularly scheduled joint board meetings. Independent Directors who participate in scheduled telephonic meetings of the board(s) of one or more funds are paid $1,000 for each such meeting actually attended.

The Chairman of the boards receives annually an additional $50,000; the chairperson of the Audit Committee receives annually an additional $35,000; the chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee receives annually an additional $25,000; and effective January 1, 2010, a board member who undertakes a special assignment to provide special assistance in coordinating the Board’s oversight of compliance or contract renewal matters (currently Heather R. Higgins and Bernard H. Garil, respectively) receives annually an additional $20,000; provided that, if a board member simultaneously holds more than one such position or assignment, he or she is paid only the higher of the fees otherwise payable for these positions or assignments. Independent Directors who are also members of the Audit Committee and/or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are paid $2,000 for each such meeting actually attended, provided that such meeting is not held in conjunction with a regularly scheduled board meeting. The foregoing fees are allocated among all such funds (or each relevant fund in the case of a special meeting) as follows: (i) one-half of the expense is allocated pro rata based on the funds’ relative net assets at the end of the calendar quarter preceding the date of payment; and (ii) one-half of the expense is allocated according to the number of such funds. No officer, director or employee of UBS Global AM or any one of its affiliates presently receives any compensation from the funds for acting as a board member or officer. All board members are reimbursed for expenses incurred in attending meetings. Professor Feldberg, an interested person of the Fund, but not by reason of affiliation with UBS Global AM, is compensated by UBS Global AM with respect to a fund unless the management, investment advisory and/or administration contract between the fund and UBS Global AM provides that the fund may bear a portion of the compensation to a director who is not an interested person of the fund by reason of affiliation with UBS Global AM or any of UBS Global AM’s affiliates.

Each director who has attained the age of seventy-five (75) years will be subject to retirement on the last day of the month in which he or she attains such age, unless the Board, including a majority of its Independent Directors, determines to grant a waiver of the retirement policy with respect to a specified individual for a set period of time. The retirement policy has been waived with respect to Mr. Armstrong, the Chairman of the Board, until 2011. The table below includes certain information relating to the compensation of the Fund’s directors. Professor Feldberg, an “interested person” of the Fund, is compensated by UBS Global AM with respect to those funds for which UBS Global AM serves as advisor, sub-advisor or manager, except as discussed above.

Accordingly, the compensation amounts listed above for Professor Feldberg represent only (1) those amounts paid by other funds within the New York Fund Complex for which UBS Global AM does not serve as investment advisor, sub-advisor or manager, and (2) funds within the New York Fund Complex that have management, investment advisory and/or administration contracts providing that the fund may bear a portion of his compensation, as discussed above.

The Audit Committee shall:

2. Pre-approve (a) all audit and permissible non-audit services¹ to be provided to the Fund and (b) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by the Fund’s independent auditors to UBS Global [Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global [AM]”)] and any Covered

1 The Committee will not approve non-audit services that the Committee believes may taint the independence of the auditors. Currently, permissible non-audit services include any professional services (including tax services) that are not prohibited services as described below, provided to the Fund by the independent auditors, other than those provided to the Fund in connection with an audit or a review of the financial statements of the Fund. Permissible non-audit services may not include: (i) bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund; (ii) financial information systems design and implementation; (iii) appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports; (iv) actuarial services; (v) internal audit outsourcing services;

12

Service Providers, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. In carrying out this responsibility, the Committee shall seek periodically from UBS Global [AM] and from the independent auditors a list of such audit and permissible non-audit services that can be expected to be rendered to the Fund, UBS Global [AM] or any Covered Service Providers by the Fund’s independent auditors, and an estimate of the fees sought to be paid in connection with such services. The Committee may delegate its responsibility to pre-approve any such audit and permissible non-audit services to a sub-committee consisting of the Chairperson of the Committee and two other members of the Committee as the Chairperson, from time to time, may determine and appoint, and such subcommittee shall report to the Committee, at its next regularly scheduled meeting after the subcommittee’s meeting, its decision(s). From year to year, the Committee shall report to the Board whether this system of pre-approval has been effective and efficient or whether this Charter should be amended to allow for pre-approval pursuant to such policies and procedures as the Committee shall approve, including the delegation of some or all of the Committee’s pre-approval responsibilities to other persons (other than UBS Global [AM] or the Fund’s officers).

Aggregate non-audit fees

The Audit Committee was not required to consider whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Fund’s investment advisor (not including any sub-advisor whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment advisor), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment advisor that provides ongoing services to the Fund that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X was compatible with maintaining Ernst & Young’s independence.

Exhibit A

Audit committee charter amended and restated as of May 12, 2004
(with revisions through August 2009)

Establishment and purpose
This document serves as the Charter for the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of each fund (the “Fund”) advised by UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global”) listed on Appendix A hereto (each such Charter being a separate Charter). The primary purposes of the Committee are to assist Board oversight of (1) the integrity of the Fund’s financial statements, (2) the Fund’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (3) the independent auditors’ qualifications and independence and (4) the performance of the Fund’s independent auditors.

In performing its Board oversight assistance function, the Committee will, among other things (a) oversee the scope of the Fund’s audit, the quality and objectivity of the Fund’s financial statements, the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies and practices and its internal controls and, as appropriate, the internal controls of certain service providers; (b) approve, and recommend to the Board, for ratification, the selection, appointment, retention or termination of the Fund’s independent auditors, as well as determining the compensation thereof; and (c) pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided to the Fund and certain other persons by such independent auditors.

In performing its duties, the Committee shall be provided by UBS Global, the Fund’s sub-advisor(s), if any, or the Fund, as applicable, with such information, data and services as the Committee shall request to discharge its duties and responsibilities, shall consult as it deems appropriate with the members of the Board, officers and employees of the Fund, UBS Global, the Fund’s sub-advisor(s), if any, the Fund’s counsel and the Fund’s other service providers and, as it determines necessary to carry out its duties and at the Fund’s expense, may engage outside advisors and consultants. In carrying out its functions, the Committee shall meet separately, periodically, with management and with the Fund’s independent auditors. The Fund shall provide appropriate funding for the Committee to carry out its duties and responsibilities.

Composition
The Committee shall have a minimum of three members and shall be composed of a number of Board members, each of whom has been determined not to be an “interested person,” as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), of the Fund (the “Independent Board Members”), as the Board shall determine from time to time. Each member of the Committee must also meet the independence and experience requirements as set forth in Sections 303A.07(a) and 303.01(b)(2)(a) of the New York Stock Exchange’s Listed Company Manual, in each case as applicable to closed-end Funds. The Committee shall elect a chairperson, who shall preside over Committee meetings (the “Chairperson”). The Chairperson shall serve for a term of three years, which term may be renewed from time to time.²

In addition, the Board shall use its best efforts to ensure that at least one member of the Committee is an “audit committee financial expert,” as determined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Appendix B sets forth the audit committee financial expert requirements as of the date of this amended and restated Charter. In the event that the Committee does not have at least one such audit committee financial expert, the nominating committee of the Board shall endeavor to identify and recommend to the Board a candidate that meets such requirements or, in the event the Board does not, at such time, have a nominating committee, the Board shall designate the Independent Board Members as a committee to identify and recommend to the Board a candidate that meets such requirements.

For those Funds listed on the NYSE, no member of the Committee may serve on the audit committees of more than three public companies, including all Funds managed by UBS Global (deemed for these purposes to be a single public company), unless the Board determines that such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of such member to serve on the Committee effectively.

² In the case of a newly-organized UBS fund, the Chairperson’s term will be coterminous with those of the other UBS funds listed on Schedule A, even if such term is shorter than three years.

A-4

Meetings
The Committee shall meet on a regular basis, but not less frequently than twice a year. Special meetings may also be held upon reasonable notice to the members of the Committee. An agenda shall be established for each meeting. Additional meetings shall be called as circumstances require. The Committee may request any officer or employee of the Fund, the Fund’s counsel, UBS Global, the Fund’s sub-advisor(s), if any, the Fund’s independent auditors or other interested persons to attend a meeting of the Committee or to meet with any members of, or consultants to, the Committee. The Committee will meet with the Fund’s independent auditors at least once a year outside the presence of the Fund’s officers and other parties. The Committee may, in its discretion, also meet outside the presence of the Fund’s officers and other parties at other times. Meetings of the Committee may be held in person, by telephone or by other appropriate means.

One-third of the Committee’s members shall constitute a quorum. At any meeting of the Committee, the decision of a majority of the members present and voting shall be determinative as to any matter submitted to a vote.

Reporting
The Chairperson shall report to the Board on the result of its deliberations and make such recommendations as deemed appropriate.

Limits on role of committee
While the Committee has the duties and responsibilities set forth in this Charter, the Committee is not responsible for planning or conducting the Fund’s audit or for determining whether the Fund’s financial statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In fulfilling their responsibilities hereunder, it is recognized that the members of the Committee are not full-time employees of the Fund, it is not the duty or the responsibility of the Committee or its members to conduct “field work” or other types of auditing or accounting reviews or procedures or to set auditor independence standards, and each member of the Committee shall be entitled to rely on (a) the integrity of those persons within and outside the Fund from which it receives information; (b) the accuracy of the financial and other information provided to the Committee absent actual knowledge to the contrary (which shall be promptly reported to the Board); and (c) statements made by the officers and employees of the Fund, UBS Global or other third parties as to any information technology, internal audit and other non-audit services provided by the independent auditors to the Fund. The review of the Fund’s financial statements by the Committee is not of the same quality as the audit performed by the independent auditors.

In carrying out its responsibilities, the Committee’s policies and procedures shall be adapted, as appropriate, in order to best react to a changing environment.

Amendments
This Charter may be amended by a vote of a majority of the Board members.

Appendix C

Policies of the audit committee regarding concerns or complaints relating to accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters or other matters relating to the operations of the Fund

Introduction
The following policies are adopted by the Board of each fund (“Fund”) advised by UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”) listed on Appendix A to the Fund’s Audit Committee Charter (“Charter”).

These policies shall constitute an amendment to, and a part of, the Charter and shall be designated as Appendix C to the Charter. These policies constitute the procedures to be established pursuant to Item 11 of “Duties and Responsibilities—Audit Oversight” in the Charter; however, the Board has decided to extend the benefit of these policies to all Funds, not just those exchange-listed Funds that are required to establish such procedures pursuant to Section 301 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Rule 303A of the New York Stock Exchange Inc. Listed Company Manual.

These policies establish (1) procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Fund (including Fund officers) regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters or other matters relating to the operations of the Fund, (2) procedures for the confidential, anonymous submission of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters by employees of the investment advisor (and sub-advisor, if applicable), administrator (and sub-administrator, if applicable), principal underwriter (if any), or any other provider of accounting related services for the Fund (each a “Service Provider”) and (3) protections for such persons bringing complaints or concerns to the attention of the Board’s Audit Committee (the “Committee”).

Reporting
It is expected that all board members and officers, as well as employees of each Service Provider, will report promptly any concerns or complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters or other matters relating to the operations of the Fund. Employees of Service Providers (including Fund officers) should first consider exhausting any internal reporting mechanisms at their firm before directly contacting the Chairperson of the Committee (or in the event of a potential conflict involving such person, any other member of the Committee). If such a person does not receive a satisfactory response within a reasonable period of time, or if he or she believes that utilizing internal reporting mechanisms would be futile or otherwise undesirable, he or she should (1) in the case of Service Providers under the supervision of UBS Global AM (e.g., State Street Bank and Trust or PNC Global Investment Servicing, Inc.), contact UBS Global AM via the “ethics hotline” and/or mailbox referenced below (unless such person believes that using such “ethics hotline” and/or mailbox would be futile or otherwise undesirable, in which case he or she should report concerns as directed in the remainder of this sentence); or (2) in the case of all other persons, contact the Chairperson of the Committee directly (or in the event of a potential conflict involving such person, any other member of the Committee).

The Committee requests that each Service Provider promptly inform it of complaints or concerns received from its employees pursuant to these or any similar policies it may have if such complaints or concerns

A-8

are reasonably believed to relate to accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters or other matters relating to the operations of the Fund.

The Committee directs UBS Global AM to communicate these policies to its primary contact(s) at each other Service Provider. Each Service Provider, including UBS Global AM, shall be directed to make these methods by which complaints or concerns can be communicated known to its employees who are primarily involved in accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters or other matters relating to the operations of the Fund that could reasonably be expected to impact the Fund. If any Service Provider refuses such request, UBS Global AM shall notify the Committee of the Service Provider’s reasons for non-cooperation, and the Committee shall recommend to the Board such actions as it believes appropriate.

Non retaliation
The Fund prohibits any form of retaliation being taken against any board member or officer, and shall request that each Service Provider not take any form of retaliation against its employees, as a result of such person lawfully engaging in any of the following “Covered Activities”:

1.	reporting concerns or complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters or other matters relating to the operations of the Fund; or
2.	assisting in an internal or external investigation conducted by the Fund or a Service Provider regarding such concerns or complaints; or
3.	filing, testifying, participating or otherwise assisting in a criminal or regulatory proceeding relating to the Fund or a Service Provider.

To the extent possible, the Board shall seek assurances from Service Providers that they shall not discharge, demote, suspend, threaten, harass, or in any other manner discriminate against an employee in the terms and conditions of his or her employment because such employee has made a report of a concern or complaint or engaged in any other Covered Activities under these policies. In addition, the Board shall seek assurances from Service Providers that they shall not knowingly, with the intent to retaliate, take any action harmful to any employee, including interference with the lawful employment or livelihood of any person, for providing to a law enforcement officer any truthful information relating to the commission or possible commission of any crime.

Confidentiality
Reasonable efforts will be made to keep a reporting person’s identity confidential. In certain circumstances, however, it may be possible that in the course of the investigation, facts must be disclosed that would require the identity of the reporting person to be disclosed. Accordingly, in such circumstances, it is not possible to give a blanket guarantee of confidentiality. However, the Committee shall take all reasonable steps (and ask its Service Providers to make reasonable efforts) to attempt to safeguard the submission of information on a confidential basis.

A Fund Person or Service Provider employee may submit information anonymously to the Committee through a letter addressed directly to the Chairman of the Committee (or in the event of a potential conflict involving such person, to any other member of the Committee) at the Chairman’s (or other Committee member’s) address as specified in the Fund’s Annual Report to Shareholders. The Committee recognizes that certain Service Providers have established their own procedures for the confidential,

A-9

anonymous receipt of concerns or complaints and requests that Service Providers promptly report to the Committee any concerns or complaints relating to the matters discussed herein.

Ethics hotline & mailbox
Where circumstances preclude the use of conventional channels, UBS Global AM has established an ethics hotline and a physical mailbox to facilitate the confidential, anonymous submission of concerns regarding potential legal/regulatory violations and questionable accounting or auditing matters or other matters relating to the operations of a Fund or other ethical dilemmas. The hotline is available for leaving a voicemail message 24-hours a day, seven days a week. In order to protect confidentiality, only the UBS Global AM General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer will be authorized to retrieve messages. Please utilize the hotline and the mailbox only for this stated purpose. The ethics hotline number is 877-882 9373. Written submissions should be addressed to: UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc., Attn: Chief Compliance Officer, 51 West 52nd Street, New York, NY 10019-6114.

Breach of this policy
Retaliatory conduct which amounts to a breach of this policy could result in criminal or regulatory sanctions or civil liability or have an adverse effect on the Fund’s or a Service Provider’s reputation. As a result, a breach of this policy may constitute gross misconduct and may result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal from service as a board member or officer, or with respect to a Service Provider, the Board’s decision to terminate any Fund contracts or other relationships with the Service Provider.

Retention and treatment of information regarding concerns and complaints
The Committee minutes shall reflect the receipt, retention and treatment of information received pursuant to this policy. The Committee shall have the power to obtain the resources it deems necessary and appropriate to investigate any information regarding such concerns or complaints, including obtaining the assistance of special counsel, auditors or other advisors or consultants to assist it in carrying out its responsibilities.

Exhibit B

Nominating and corporate governance committee charter (with revisions effective August 2009)

Establishment and purpose
This document serves as the Charter for the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of each fund (the “Fund”) advised by UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. listed on Appendix A hereto (each such Charter being a separate Charter). The primary purposes of the Committee are to (a) identify individuals qualified to serve as members of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”) of each Fund; (b) make recommendations to the Board on the composition of the Board; (c) recommend committee assignments and responsibilities to the Board; (d) make recommendations to the Board regarding corporate governance matters and responsibilities; and (e) periodically assess the functioning of the Board and its committees (including the Committee).

Composition
1.	The Committee shall consist of three or more Board members who are not “interested persons” of the Fund, as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), of the Fund (the “Independent Board Members”). Each member of the Committee must also meet the independence and experience requirements applicable to closed-end funds as they may be adopted and modified from time to time by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). Each Committee member shall serve until a successor to such member is duly elected or qualified or until such member’s resignation or removal from the Board or the Committee.
2.	The Committee shall elect a chairperson (the “Chairperson”) of the Committee, who shall preside over Committee meetings.
3.	The compensation of the Chairperson and the Committee members shall be as determined by the Board.

Nomination and appointment policy
1.	The Committee believes that it is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to obtain highly-qualified candidates to serve as members of the Board.
2.	In nominating candidates, the Committee believes that no specific qualifications or disqualifications are controlling or paramount, or that specific qualities or skills are necessary for each candidate to possess. The Committee shall take into consideration such factors as it deems appropriate. These factors may include:

• whether or not the person is an “interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act, meets the independence and experience requirements of the NYSE cited above and is otherwise qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a member of the Board;

B-1

• whether or not the person has any relationships that might impair his or her independence, such as any business, financial or family relationships with Fund management, the investment advisor and/or sub-advisors of the Fund, Fund service providers or their affiliates;

• whether or not the person is willing to serve, and willing and able to commit the time necessary for the performance of the duties of a Board member;

• the person’s judgment, skill, diversity and experience with investment companies and other organizations of comparable purpose, complexity and size and subject to similar legal restrictions and oversight,

• the interplay of the candidate’s experience with the experience of other Board members; and

• the extent to which the candidate would be a desirable addition to the Board and any committees thereof.

3.

While the Committee is solely responsible for the selection and recommendation to the Board of Board candidates, the Committee will consider nominees recommended by Fund shareholders if a vacancy occurs among those Board members who are Independent Board Members. Such recommendations shall be directed to the Secretary of the Fund at such address as is set forth in the Fund’s disclosure documents. The shareholder’s letter should state the nominee’s name and should include the nominee’s resume or curriculum vitae, and must be accompanied by a written consent of the individual to stand for election if nominated for the Board and to serve if elected by shareholders. The Committee may also seek such additional information about the nominee as it considers appropriate, including information relating to such nominee that is required to be disclosed in solicitations or proxies for the election of Board members.

4.

The Committee may from time to time establish specific requirements and/or additional factors to be considered for Board candidates as it deems necessary or appropriate.

Duties and responsibilities
1.	The Committee shall identify individuals believed to be qualified to become Board members and recommend to the Board the nominees to either (i) be elected by the Board or (ii) stand for election as Board members at the annual or special meeting of shareholders, as applicable.
2.	The Committee shall be responsible for reviewing with the Board the requisite skills and criteria for new Board members as well as the composition of the Board as a whole.
3.	The Committee shall review, as it deems necessary, and make recommendations with regard to the tenure of the Board members, including, as it deems necessary, any term limits and mandatory retirement age.
4.	The Committee shall review, as it deems necessary, and make recommendations to the Board with regard to the compensation of Board and committee chairpersons.

B-2

5.	The Committee shall have the authority to retain and terminate any search firm to be used to identify Board nominees, subject to the Board’s sole authority to approve the search firm’s fees and other retention terms.
6.	The Committee shall be responsible for overseeing an annual evaluation of the Board and its committees to determine whether the Board and its committees are functioning effectively. The Committee shall determine the nature of the evaluation, supervise the conduct of the evaluation and prepare a summary of the performance of the Board and its committees, to be discussed with the Board.
7.	The Committee shall have any other duties or responsibilities expressly delegated to the Committee by the Board from time to time relating to (a) the nomination of the Board or any committee members, (b) corporate governance matters and (c) Board and committee evaluation matters.

Subcommittees
1.	The Committee shall have the authority to delegate all or a portion of its duties and responsibilities to a subcommittee of the Committee.

Meetings
1.	The Committee shall meet at such times as it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out its duties. Meetings of the Committee may be held in person, by telephone or by other appropriate means. The Committee may also take action by unanimous written consent.
2.	One-half of the Committee’s members shall constitute a quorum, if at least two members are present. At any meeting of the Committee, the decision of a majority of the members present and voting shall be determinative as to any matter submitted to a vote.
3.	The Committee shall, from time to time as it deems appropriate, review and reassess the adequacy of this Charter and recommend any proposed changes to the Board for approval.
4.	The Committee shall have the resources and authority to make reasonable expenditures, including expenditures to retain any experts and counsel related to the aforementioned duties and tasks that will be reimbursed by the Fund.
5.	The Committee shall keep written minutes of its meetings, which minutes shall be maintained within the books and records of the Fund, and the Committee shall report to the Board on its meetings.

Reporting
1.	The Chairperson shall report to the Board on the result of the Committee’s deliberations and make such recommendations as deemed appropriate.
