Delaware Investments National Municipal Income Fund Announces Dividend Distribution

Today, Delaware Investments National Municipal Income Fund (NYSE American: VFL) (the “National Muni Fund”) a New York Stock Exchange–listed closed-end fund trading under the symbol “VFL,” declared a monthly distribution of $0.0450 per share. The monthly distribution is payable February 25, 2022, to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 18, 2022. The ex-dividend date will be February 17, 2022.

The investment objective of the National Muni Fund is to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax consistent with the preservation of capital. In addition, the National Muni Fund has the ability to use leveraging techniques in an attempt to obtain a higher return for the National Muni Fund. Currently, the National Muni Fund has outstanding a series of variable-rate preferred shares as leverage. There is no assurance that the National Muni Fund will achieve its investment objectives.

At the Joint Annual Meeting of Shareholders held October 11, 2021, adjourned to November 9, 2021, the shareholders of Delaware Investments Colorado Municipal Income Fund, Inc. (NYSE American: VCF) (the “Colorado Muni Fund”), Delaware Investments Minnesota Municipal Income Fund II, Inc. (NYSE American: VMM) (the “Minnesota Muni Fund”), and the National Muni Fund approved an Agreement and Plan of Acquisition (the “Plan of Acquisition”) providing for (i) the acquisition by National Muni Fund of substantially all of the assets of both Colorado Muni Fund and Minnesota Muni Fund, in exchange for newly issued common shares of the National Muni Fund; (ii) the distribution of such newly issued common shares of the National Muni Fund to holders of common shares of Colorado Muni Fund and holders of common shares of Minnesota Muni Fund; and (iii) the dissolution of both Colorado Muni Fund and Minnesota Muni Fund thereafter. This acquisition is currently anticipated to close on February 11, 2022, at approximately 5:00 p.m. Eastern daylight time and is described in more detail in the Funds' press release of December 21, 2021. In connection with the Plan of Acquisition, the Colorado Muni Fund and Minnesota Muni Fund made a final distribution of substantially all of its undistributed ordinary income and undistributed capital gain net income, if any, earned through close of business on February 4, 2022, to common shareholders of record on February 1, 2022. Following completion of the acquisition, the Colorado Muni Fund and Minnesota Muni Fund will both be delisted.
