Declares Initial Monthly Distribution
Gabelli Asset Management
The Board of Trustees of The Gabelli Global Gold, Natural Resources & Income Trust (GGN) declared a $0.14 per share initial cash distribution payable on June 24, 2005 to common shareholders of record on June 16, 2005. The Board of Trustees further declared distributions of $0.14 per share for the months of July and August.
The Fund intends to make regular monthly cash distributions of all or a portion of its investment company taxable income (which includes ordinary income and realized short-term capital gains) to common shareholders. The Fund also intends to make annual distributions of its net realized long-term capital gains. Various factors will affect the level of the Fund's income, such as its asset mix, and use of covered call strategies. To permit the Fund to maintain more stable monthly distributions, the Fund may from time to time distribute more or less than the entire amount of income earned in a particular period. Because the Fund's distribution policy is subject to modification by the Board of Trustees at any time and the Fund's income will fluctuate, there can be no assurance that the Fund will pay distributions at a particular rate. Each quarter, the Board of Trustees will review the amount of any potential distribution and the income, capital gain or capital available.
The Fund's initial public offering occurred on March 28, 2005 with the issuance of 16.6 million common shares at $20.00 per share. The Fund issued one million common shares at $20.00 per share in conjunction with the exercise of the underwriters' over allotment option on May 13, 2005. The initial public offering and the exercise of the underwriters' over allotment option resulted in the aggregate issuance of 17.6 million common shares and gross proceeds of $352 million.
