NEW YORK--()--BrandywineGLOBAL – Global Income Opportunities Fund Inc. (NYSE: BWG) announced today that the Fund’s Board of Directors has authorized (subject to certain conditions) a cash tender offer for up to 20% of the Fund’s outstanding shares of common stock (the “Shares”) at a price per Share equal to 99.5% of the Fund’s net asset value per Share as of the business day immediately following the expiration date of the tender offer. The commencement of the tender offer will commence as soon as practicable as determined by the Fund’s board of directors. The Fund will repurchase Shares tendered and accepted in the tender offer in exchange for cash. In the event the tender offer is oversubscribed, Shares will be repurchased on a pro rata basis.

The commencement of the tender offer is pursuant to an agreement between the Fund and Bulldog Investors, LLC (“Bulldog”) and certain associated parties (the “Settlement Agreement”). During the effective period of the Settlement Agreement, Bulldog has agreed to (1) be bound by the terms of the Settlement Agreement, including certain standstill covenants, and (2) generally seek to cause its Shares to be voted on certain proposals submitted to shareholders in accordance with the recommendation of the Fund’s board of directors. The Fund has been advised that Bulldog will file a copy of the Settlement Agreement or a summary thereof with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an exhibit to its Schedule 13D.
