The Board of Trustees of the GAMCO Global Gold, Natural Resources & Income
Trust by Gabelli GGN (the “Fund”) has authorized the partial
redemption of 2,000,000 of its outstanding 6.625% Series A Cumulative
Preferred Shares (the “Series A Preferred Shares”). The redemption date is
Thursday, April 11, 2013, and the redemption price is $25.069 per Series A
Preferred Share, which is equal to the liquidation preference of $25.00 per
Series A Preferred Share, plus accumulated but unpaid dividends of $0.069.
From and after the redemption date, the Series A Preferred Shares to be
redeemed will no longer be deemed outstanding, dividends will cease to accrue,
and all the rights of the Series A Preferred Shareholders with respect to the
redeemed Series A Preferred Shares will cease, except the right to receive the
redemption price. Shareholders of record will be mailed a redemption notice
shortly.
For Series A Preferred Shares held in brokerage accounts, Depository Trust
Company (“DTC”), the holder of record, determines the allocations of this
partial series redemption by lottery among each participant account. Each
participant account, as nominee for underlying beneficial owners (street name
shareholders), in turn determines the allocations of redeemed shares among
underlying beneficial owners. The procedures used by various participant
accounts to allocate redeemed shares among beneficial owners may differ from
other participant accounts as well as from the procedures used by DTC.
The Series A Preferred Shares, which trade on the NYSE MKT under the symbol
“GGN Pr A”, are rated “A1” by Moody's Investors Service and have an annual
dividend rate of $1.65625 per share. The Series A Preferred Shares were issued
on October 16, 2007 at $25.00 per share and pay distributions quarterly. On
October 17, 2012, the Series A Preferred Shares became callable at any time
upon 15 days prior notice at the liquidation value of $25.00 per share plus
accrued dividends.
