NOX Neuberger Berman Income Opportunity Fund

Neuberger Berman Income Opportunity Fund Inc. (NYSE Amex: NOX) and Neuberger Berman High Yield Strategies Fund (NYSE: NHS) (each a “Fund”) announced that they anticipate the reorganization of each Fund into a newly formed fund, Neuberger Berman High Yield Strategies Fund Inc. (the “New Fund”), will be effective after the close of business on Friday, August 6, 2010.

NHS common shareholders will receive the same number of New Fund shares as the NHS shares they held immediately prior to the reorganization. NOX common stockholders will receive a different number of New Fund shares than the NOX shares they held immediately prior to the reorganization. The number of New Fund shares issued to NOX common stockholders will be based on the relative net asset value per share of NOX and New Fund (the “share conversion factor”). NOX common stockholders will generally receive cash in lieu of any fractional New Fund shares. To facilitate the operational processing of the reorganization in a timely manner, the share conversion factor for NOX common stockholders will be determined after the close of business on Thursday, August 5, 2010, using each Fund’s net asset value per share calculated that day. Details of the share conversion factor along with other important information relating to the closing of the reorganization will be communicated by press release on Monday, August 9, 2010. The New Fund’s common stock will be listed on the NYSE Amex under the ticker symbol NHS.

It is currently expected that New Fund will declare its initial monthly distribution after the completion of the reorganization. This initial monthly distribution is expected to be payable on August 31, 2010, with a record date of August 16, 2010, and an ex-date of August 12, 2010.
