Overview

On or about August 22, a combined Proxy Statement was mailed to the shareholders
of Neuberger  Berman  Funds.  If you are a  shareholder,  you have been asked to
review the Proxy  Statement and to cast your vote  regarding new  Management and
Sub-Advisory  Agreements  with Neuberger  Berman  Management  Inc. and Neuberger
Berman,  LLC. These  agreements  are  necessitated  by the proposed  combination
between Neuberger Berman Inc. and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.

YOUR VOTE IS  IMPORTANT  TO US.  VOTING  YOUR  SHARES  EARLY WILL  AVOID  COSTLY
FOLLOW-UP  MAIL AND  TELEPHONE  SOLICITATION.  To help  save you  time,  we have
created the  opportunity  for you to cast your proxy vote  online.  If we do not
hear from you by  September  8, our proxy  solicitor  may  contact  you. We have
prepared a brief set of frequently asked questions for your review,  in case you
would like further  information  on the proposals set forth in the document that
was mailed to you.



Frequently Asked Questions

Q: WHY ARE YOU SENDING ME THIS INFORMATION?

A: You are receiving these proxy materials because you own shares in one or more
of the  affected  Funds  and have the  right  to vote on  these  very  important
proposals concerning your investment.


Q: WHAT IS HAPPENING?

A: Neuberger  Berman Inc.  ("Neuberger  Inc."),  the parent company of Neuberger
Berman Management Inc. ("NB Management"),  your Fund's investment  advisor,  and
Neuberger Berman, LLC ("Neuberger  Berman"),  your Fund's sub-advisor,  recently
entered into an agreement with Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("Lehman Brothers")
whereby   Lehman   Brothers   has  agreed  to  acquire   Neuberger   Inc.   (the
"Transaction").  Following the closing of the  Transaction,  NB  Management  and
Neuberger  Berman will each become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Lehman
Brothers.  Neuberger Inc. and Lehman Brothers expect the Transaction to close in
Lehman Brothers'  fourth fiscal quarter (which ends November 30, 2003),  subject
to the satisfaction of certain conditions outlined in the Proxy Statement.

As a result of the sale of  Neuberger  Inc.  to  Lehman  Brothers,  your  Fund's
Management  Agreement with NB Management and the Sub-Advisory  Agreement between
NB Management and Neuberger Berman will automatically terminate. Accordingly, we
are  asking  shareholders  of each Fund to  approve  new  agreements.  The Proxy
Statement  provides  additional   information  about  Lehman  Brothers  and  the
agreements.  If shareholders approve the proposals, the effectiveness of each is
contingent  upon the closing of the  Transaction,  and each proposal will become
effective only upon the closing of the  Transaction.  If the  Transaction is not
consummated, neither of the proposals will become effective.

NB Management  and Neuberger  Berman have advised each Fund's Board that they do
not anticipate any changes in the Fund's  portfolio  managers or their portfolio
management  teams in connection with the Transaction.  However,  there can be no
assurance that any particular employee of NB Management or Neuberger Berman will
choose to remain  employed by NB Management or Neuberger  Berman before or after
the completion of the Transaction.


Q:  WHY AM I BEING ASKED TO VOTE ON THE NEW AGREEMENTS?

A:  Completion  of the  Transaction  will  result in a change of  control  of NB
Management and Neuberger Berman, and as a result,  will automatically  terminate
each Fund's  Management  Agreement and  Sub-Advisory  Agreement  pursuant to the
Investment  Company Act of 1940,  as amended.  To ensure that the  management of
your Fund can continue  without any  interruption  and so that NB Management and
Neuberger  Berman can continue to provide the Funds with services equal in scope



to those  currently  being  provided  to the  Funds,  your  approval  of the new
agreements is sought.

For the  Transaction to close,  certain  conditions must be satisfied or waived,
including,  among others,  the approval of the new agreements by shareholders of
Funds that represented at least 75% of the assets held as of May 31, 2003 in all
of the Funds and in all other registered  investment  companies  sponsored by NB
Management.  The Board of your Fund has approved interim  contracts in the event
that the Transaction  closes and  shareholders of a particular Fund have not yet
approved new  agreements  for that Fund.  If new  agreements  for a Fund are not
approved within 150 days of the date on which the Transaction  closes, the Board
will take such action as it deems to be in the best  interests  of that Fund and
its shareholders.


Q:   HOW WILL THE TRANSACTION AFFECT ME AS A FUND SHAREHOLDER?

A: Your Fund and its  investment  objectives  will not change as a result of the
completion  of the  Transaction,  and you will still own the same  shares in the
same Fund.  The new  agreements  are  identical in all material  respects to the
existing agreements.  The management fee rates that the Funds pay for investment
advisory  services will be the same upon completion of the  Transaction,  and NB
Management and Neuberger  Berman have advised each Fund's Board that they do not
anticipate any changes in the Fund's portfolio managers or portfolio  management
teams in connection  with the  Transaction.  However,  there can be no assurance
that any particular employee of NB Management or Neuberger Berman will choose to
remain  employed  by NB  Management  or  Neuberger  Berman  before  or after the
completion of the Transaction.


Q: WILL THE FUND'S NAME CHANGE?

A:  No.  The name of your Fund will not change.


Q: WILL THE FEES PAYABLE  UNDER THE NEW  AGREEMENTS  INCREASE AS A RESULT OF THE
TRANSACTION?

A: No. The  proposals to approve the new  agreements do not seek any increase in
fee rates. In addition,  all contractual and voluntary  arrangements  whereby NB
Management  has agreed to limit the  expenses  of certain  Funds to a  specified
annual rate will continue upon completion of the Transaction.


Q: HOW DOES THE BOARD RECOMMEND I VOTE?

A: After careful  consideration,  your Fund's Board recommends that you vote FOR
these proposals.  However,  your vote is entirely up to you. The proxy statement
you  received  is a detailed  document  provided  to assist  you in making  your
decisions. Please read it carefully before you vote.



Q: WHEN WILL THE PROXY MATERIALS BE AVAILABLE?

A: Proxy materials were mailed on or about August 22 to all shareholders.


Q:  WILL MY  FUND  PAY FOR  THIS  PROXY  SOLICITATION  OR FOR THE  COSTS  OF THE
TRANSACTION?

A: No. The Funds will not bear these costs.  NB  Management is bearing any costs
that would otherwise be borne by the Funds.


Q: HOW DO I VOTE MY SHARES?

A: For your convenience, there are several ways you can vote:

     By Mail:  Vote,  sign and return  your  proxy  card in the  self-addressed,
     postage-paid envelope you received with your Proxy Statement;

     By Telephone: Call the number printed on the proxy card;
