Prices of risky assets fell steeply before
recovery
The fiscal year was
largely a story in two parts. The period began amid the worst economic and
financial markets that the portfolio management team has ever witnessed. The
latter part of the period, however, featured a considerable recovery, with what
the team viewed as extraordinarily attractive opportunities within both the
fixed income and equity markets.
At the start of the
fiscal period, financial markets were still reacting to the jolt received when
storied Wall Street investment bank Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy in
September 2008. The bankruptcy, followed soon after by the federal bailout of
insurance giant American International Group (AIG), sent the financial markets
into a near panic. Risk aversion had become extreme by late 2008 and many
investors seemingly fled all “risk” assets for the relative safety of securities
issued by the U.S. government and other sovereign entities. Signs of the fallout
from the financial crisis were abundant, both in the economy and in the
securities markets.
The MSCI ACWI (All
Country World Index), a broad measure of equity markets around the world, had
declined by March 2009 to very near its lowest level since July 1995. The
S&P 500 Index, a measure of the broad stock market in the United States, dropped by
March to its lowest level since September 1996. Meanwhile, high yield bond
spreads (which are used to measure a bond’s perceived level of risk) in the U.S.
peaked in December 2008 at 21.0% as measured by J.P. Morgan, a level not seen
since January 1995. (Source: Bloomberg.)
The prices of energy and
commodities also fell sharply during the first half of the year, before starting
to recover during the latter half. In early March 2009, the broad-based Thomson
Reuters/Jefferies CRB Commodity Index dropped to its lowest level since January
2002 (source: Bloomberg). The price of crude oil also sank, with the West Texas
Intermediate (a type of crude oil used as a benchmark in oil pricing) hitting a
low of $31 a barrel in late December 2008, a full 78% below its all-time peak
price of $145 in early July 2008 (source: Bloomberg).
Global equity and fixed
income markets touched lows in March, and then began to recover vigorously for
much of the rest of the period. Governments and central banks around the world
stressed their intentions of continuing to provide support for economic recovery
for as long as necessary, which helped investors become more willing to accept
risk. At first, many investors began to reach for risk at the expense of
quality, within both the equity and fixed income markets. Lower-rated bonds, for
example, significantly outperformed their higher-rated peers during the spring
and summer months, while stocks of many companies with questionable fundamentals
outpaced those of fundamentally solid companies. As the market recovery matured,
however, it broadened to include almost every corner of the market, including
higher-quality securities.
The views expressed are
current as of the date of this report and are subject to change.

Portfolio
management review
Delaware Enhanced Global
Dividend and Income Fund
Importantly, economies
around the world began to show early signs of stabilization and cyclical
recovery. During the third calendar quarter of 2009, in fact, the U.S. economy
expanded by an estimated 2.8%, according to the U.S. Commerce Department’s
reading of GDP released in November. It was the fastest growth in the past two
years.
Fund positioning
The Fund’s primary
objective is to seek current income, with a secondary objective of capital
appreciation. In managing the Fund, we pursue these goals by investing broadly
in a range of income-generating securities from around the globe. These include
“core” fixed income holdings (such as Treasury and agency securities) as well as
investment grade and high yield corporate bonds, convertible bonds, real estate
investment trusts (REITs), large-cap value stocks, and international value
stocks.
Broadly speaking, we
positioned the Fund defensively as the period began. When determining the Fund’s
asset allocation at a portfolio level, for instance, we placed an emphasis on
fixed income securities and convertible bonds over equities and REITs. From a
risk-reward perspective, we tended to find fixed income asset classes as more
appropriate for the Fund.
Among corporate bonds,
for example, yields rose to historically high levels during the opening months
of the period. Because prices decline as yields rise, the high yields on
corporate bonds reflected the extreme risk aversion by investors at that time,
and also highlighted some extraordinary value opportunities in our opinion.
Although corporate bonds were impacted by the difficult investment climate early
in the period, both high yield and investment grade corporate bond positions
within the Fund ultimately contributed performance for the fiscal year. Both
asset classes performed well during the market’s recovery, and high yield bonds’
rebound was particularly notable.
Within high yield, the
Fund generally carried a heavy position in speculative B-rated securities
because we believed that the most favorable risk and reward opportunities
existed there. Conversely, we maintained less exposure to bonds with a higher BB
rating, which is just below
investment grade. Our limited exposure to BB-rated bonds moderated Fund returns,
however, because these bonds were among the better-performing bonds within the
high yield asset class. (Credit ratings based on Standard & Poor’s
opinion.)
The Fund’s increased
exposure to convertible bonds also added to its overall performance. We added to
convertible bond exposure because we believed the combination of yield, capital
structure positioning, and potential upside made them attractive.
Among our REIT holdings,
we continued to employ our “bottom up” security selection strategy, in which we
evaluate potential investments one by one, based on our assessment of each
company’s growth prospects, relative valuation, and balance-sheet quality (among
other factors). Given the highly volatile conditions of the fiscal year,
however, our approach was more opportunistic than usual, as we sought to take
advantage of a shifting marketplace.
Early on, as the
investment environment deteriorated, we made our REIT positioning more defensive
by focusing on companies with longer lease terms, including healthcare and
“triple net” REITs. Triple-net leases, in which tenants pay all property
maintenance costs in addition to rent, tend to be relatively defensive because
they provide a greater income stream to landlords. Simultaneously, we limited
our exposure to companies with shorter-duration leases, such as hotel companies,
which tend to have uncertain cash flows relative to other sectors. We also
looked to avoid stocks of companies with what we believed were significant
balance-sheet problems.
This defensive stance
was generally beneficial to Fund performance during the downturn. Nonetheless,
we calculated that the recovery would be much shorter than it turned out to be
when credit markets loosened and the REIT market advanced. In actuality, credit
conditions continued to improve, and by summer it was evident that a
longer-lived improvement was taking place. Our maintenance of cautious
positioning for a time caused the Fund’s REIT positions to trail the broader
market gains during some of the REIT rally.
2
The gains made during
the fiscal year by the Fund’s large-cap value equity holdings were more subdued
than those of its high yield fixed income or REIT holdings. Much of the
performance gains (versus the broader equity markets) from this equity
allocation relative to the S&P 500 Index came in periods of market decline,
such as the first several months of the period and again in October
2009.
This trend has been
consistent with the aim of our equity management approach; through our
value-oriented, defensive style, we seek to do well in relative terms in down
markets by minimizing losses. The biggest positive for the Fund’s large-cap
value holdings came from de-emphasizing the financial sector, the hardest-hit
group in the marketplace during the downturn. Fund returns were negatively
affected by our holdings in both the materials and industrials sectors, two
groups in which our security selection proved disappointing.
In international
equities, we maintained a defensive posture through the first half of 2009. This
included dramatically cutting the Fund’s allocation to financial stocks that
were highly sensitive economically. It also meant avoiding industrial and
consumer-related companies with significant debt levels, which we believed would
suffer if capital became less readily available. Beginning in the third quarter
of 2009, as evidence mounted that the market’s progress was sustainable and that
the economy was slowly improving, we felt more comfortable adding to our risk
exposure in this portion of the Fund.
As the period came to a
close, we were encouraged as it appeared to us that international equity
investors once again were generally favoring stocks with solid business
fundamentals, sustainable earnings, and reasonable valuations. We believe this
constitutes a more normalized investment environment than the speculative
atmosphere of the second quarter. By the end of November 2009, the market
appeared to be assessing stocks on a company-by-company basis, and because of
our regular emphasis on careful individual stock research, we felt this was a
favorable backdrop for our style of investing.
We recognize that the
recent environment, one in which investors could be rewarded for simply
increasing the amount of risk within their portfolios, cannot last forever. With
this in mind, the Fund continued at the portfolio level to be positioned
generally defensively at fiscal year end, based on our opinion of relative value
opportunities among asset classes.

Performance
summary
Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income
Fund
The performance data
quoted represent past performance; past performance does not guarantee future
results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so your shares,
when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current
performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Funds that
invest in bonds can lose their value as interest rates rise, and an investor can
lose principal. Please obtain the performance data for the most recent month end
by calling 800 523-1918.
Fixed income securities
and bond funds can lose value, and investors can lose principal, as interest
rates rise. They also may be affected by economic conditions that hinder an
issuer’s ability to make interest and principal payments on its
debt.

Instances of high
double-digit returns are unusual, cannot be sustained, and were achieved
primarily during favorable market conditions.
Diversification may not
protect against market risk.
Narrowly focused
investments may exhibit higher volatility than investments in multiple industry
sectors. REIT investments are subject to many of the risks associated with
direct real estate ownership, including changes in economic conditions, credit
risk, and interest rate fluctuations.
International
investments entail risks not ordinarily associated with U.S. investments
including fluctuation in currency values, differences in accounting principles,
or economic or political instability in other nations. Investing in emerging
markets can be riskier than investing in established foreign markets due to
increased volatility and lower trading volume.
Fixed income securities
and bond funds can lose value, and investors can lose principal, as interest
rates rise. They also may be affected by economic conditions that hinder an
issuer’s ability to make interest and principal payments on its debt. The Fund
may also be subject to prepayment risk, the risk that the principal of a fixed
income security that is held by the Fund may be prepaid prior to maturity,
potentially forcing the Fund to reinvest that money at a lower interest rate.
High yielding, noninvestment grade bonds (junk bonds) involve higher risk than
investment grade bonds.
The Fund may invest in
derivatives, which may involve additional expenses and are subject to risk,
including the risk that an underlying security or securities index moves in the
opposite direction from what the portfolio manager anticipated. A derivative
transaction depends upon the counterparties’ ability to fulfill their
contractual obligations.
If and when the Fund
invests in forward foreign currency contracts or uses other investments to hedge
against currency risks, the Fund will be subject to special risks, including
counterparty risk.
The “Fund performance”
table and the “Performance of a $10,000 investment” graph do not reflect the
deduction of taxes the shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or
redemptions of Fund shares.
Returns reflect the
reinvestment of all distributions. Dividends and distributions, if any, are
assumed, for the purpose of this calculation to be reinvested at prices obtained
under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment policy. Shares of the Fund were initially
offered with a sales charge of 4.50%. Performance since inception does not
include the sales charge or any other brokerage commission for purchases made
since inception. Past performance is not a guarantee of future
results.

The percentage of net
assets exceeds 100% because the Fund utilizes a line of credit with the Bank of
New York Mellon, as described in note 7 in “Notes to financial statements.” The
Fund utilizes leveraging techniques in an attempt to obtain a higher return for
the Fund. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment
objectives through the use of such techniques.

3 Total investment return is calculated assuming
a purchase of common stock on the opening of the first day and a sale on the
closing of the last day of each period reported. Dividends and distributions, if
any, are assumed for the purpose of this calculation, to be reinvested at prices
obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan. Generally, total
investment return based on net asset value will be higher than total investment
return based on market value in periods where there is an increase in the
discount or decrease in the premium of the market value to the net asset value
from the beginning to the end of such periods. Conversely, total investment
return based on net asset value will be lower than total investment return based
on market value in periods where there is a decrease in the discount or an
increase in the premium of the market value to the net asset value from the
beginning to the end of such periods.

Notes to financial
statements
Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income
Fund
November 30, 2009
Delaware Enhanced Global
Dividend and Income Fund (Fund) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and
is a diversified closed-end management investment company under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s shares trade on the New York Stock
Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol DEX.
The investment objective
of the Fund is to seek current income, with a secondary objective of capital
appreciation.
1. Significant Accounting
Policies
The following accounting
policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) and are consistently followed by the Fund.
Security Valuation — Equity securities, except those traded on
the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales
price as of the time of the regular close of the NYSE on the valuation date.
Securities traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq
Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If on a
particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid
and ask prices will be used. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued
at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. U.S. Government and agency
securities are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices. Short-term
debt securities are valued at market value. Other debt securities, credit
default swap (CDS) contracts and interest rate swap contracts are valued by an
independent pricing service or broker. To the extent current market prices are
not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to
the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities.
Investment companies are valued at net asset value per share. Foreign currency
exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices.
Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an
interim date for which quotations are not available. Financial futures contracts
and options on financial futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted
settlement prices. Exchange-traded options are valued at the last reported sale
price or, if no sales are reported, at the mean between the last reported bid
and ask prices. Generally, index swap contracts and other securities and assets
for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value
as determined in good faith under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Trustees
(Board). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair
valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such
as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair
value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S.
markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the
Fund values its securities at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The earlier close of these
foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including
broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading,
or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund
may frequently value foreign securities using fair value prices based on
third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value
pricing).
Federal Income Taxes — No provision for federal income taxes has
been made as the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax
purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and make the requisite distributions to
shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in
the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are
“more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax
positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as
a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the Fund’s
tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax
years ended November 30, 2007 – November 30, 2009), and has concluded that no
provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements.
Distributions — The Fund has a managed distribution policy.
Under the policy, the Fund declares and pays monthly distributions and is
managed with a goal of generating as much of the distribution as possible from
ordinary income (net investment income and short-term capital gains). The
balance of the distribution then comes from long-term capital gains to the
extent permitted and, if necessary, a return of capital.
Repurchase Agreements — The Fund may invest in a pooled cash
account along with members of the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds
pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The aggregate daily balance of the pooled cash account is invested in repurchase
agreements secured by obligations of the U.S. government. The respective
collateral is held by the Fund’s custodian bank until the maturity of the
respective repurchase agreements. Each repurchase agreement is at least 102%
collateralized. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the
counterparty to the agreement, realization of the collateral may be subject to
legal proceedings. At November 30, 2009, the Fund held no investments in
repurchase agreements.
Foreign Currency
Transactions —
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing
exchange rates on the valuation date. The value of all assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies is translated into U.S. dollars at the
exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar daily. Transaction
gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting
period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in
operations for the current period. The Fund isolates that portion of realized
gains and losses on investments in debt securities, which are due to changes in
foreign exchange rates from that which are due to changes in market prices of
debt securities. For foreign equity securities, these changes are included in
realized gains (losses) on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign
currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for
financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary
income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.
Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Other — Expenses directly attributable to the Fund
are charged directly to the Fund. Other expenses common to various funds within
the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds are
generally allocated amongst such funds on the basis of average net assets.
Management fees and some other expenses are paid monthly. Security transactions
are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date) for
financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and
losses on
28
the sale of investment
securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is
recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual
basis. Discounts and premiums on non-convertible bonds are amortized to interest
income over the lives of the respective securities. Realized gains (losses) on
paydowns of mortgage- and asset-backed securities are classified as interest
income. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon
after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all
non-rebatable tax withholdings. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and
interest have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of
the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received from
investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are recorded as dividend
income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the
character of such distributions by the issuer.
The Fund may receive
earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained,
which are used to offset custody fees. There were no earnings credits for the
year ended November 30, 2009.
On July 1, 2009, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification (Codification). The Codification became the single source of
authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP, superseding existing literature of the
FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Emerging Issues Task
Force and other sources. The Codification is effective for interim and annual
periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Fund adopted the codification for
the year ended November 30, 2009. There was no impact to financial statements as
the Codification requirements are disclosure-only in nature.
Management has evaluated
whether any events or transactions occurred subsequent to November 30, 2009
through January 21, 2010, the date of issuance of the Fund’s financial
statements, and determined that there were no material events or transactions
that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial
statements.
2. Investment Management, Administration
Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates
In accordance with the
terms of its Investment Management Agreement, the Fund pays Delaware Management
Company (DMC), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust and the investment
manager, an annual fee of 1.00% (calculated daily) of the adjusted average
weekly net assets of the Fund. For purposes of the calculation of investment
management fees, adjusted average weekly net assets excludes the line of credit
liability.
Delaware Service
Company, Inc. (DSC), an affiliate of DMC, provides fund accounting and financial
administration oversight services to the Fund. For these services, the Fund pays
DSC fees based on the aggregate daily net assets of the Delaware
Investments®
Family of Funds at the following annual rate: 0.0050% of the first $30 billion;
0.0045% of the next $10 billion; 0.0040% of the next $10 billion; and 0.0025% of
aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $50 billion. The fees payable to
DSC under the service agreement described above are allocated among all Funds in
the Delaware Investments Family of Funds on a relative net asset value basis.
For the year ended November 30, 2009, the Fund was charged $8,751 for these
services.
At November 30, 2009,
the Fund had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:
Investment management fee payable to
DMC |
$ |
160,926 |
Fees and other expenses payable to DSC |
|
806 |
Other expenses payable to DMC and
affiliates* |
|
2,597
|
*DMC, as part of its administrative services,
pays operating expenses on behalf of the Fund and is reimbursed on a periodic
basis. Such expenses include items such as printing of shareholder reports, fees
for audit, legal and tax services, stock exchange fees, custodian fees and
Trustees’ fees.
As provided in the
investment management agreement, the Fund bears the cost of certain legal and
tax services, including internal legal and tax services provided to the Fund by
DMC and/or its affiliates’ employees. For the year ended November 30, 2009, the
Fund was charged $11,184 for internal legal and tax services provided by DMC
and/or its affiliates’ employees.
Trustees’ fees include
expenses accrued by the Fund for each Trustee’s retainer and meeting fees.
Certain officers of DMC and DSC are officers and/or Trustees of the Fund. These
officers and Trustees are paid no compensation by the Fund.
3. Investments
For the year ended
November 30, 2009, the Fund made purchases of $118,563,025 and sales of
$130,076,557 of investment securities other than U.S. government securities and
short-term investments. For the year ended November 30, 2009, the Fund purchases
on $23,507,356 and sales of $19,868,535 of long-term U.S. government
securities.
At November 30, 2009,
the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $215,874,594. At
November 30, 2009, net unrealized depreciation was $8,938,818, of which
$11,976,281 related to unrealized appreciation of investments and $20,915,099
related to unrealized depreciation of investments.
The Fund applies the
amended provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 820 (ASC 820), Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that
the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under
current market conditions. ASC 820 also establishes a framework for measuring
fair value, and a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon
the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may
be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market
participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs
reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the
reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own
assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing
the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under
the circumstances. The Fund’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level
based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall
valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.
Level 1 – Inputs are
quoted prices in active markets
Level 2 – Inputs are
observable, directly or indirectly
Level 3 – Inputs are
unobservable and reflect assumptions on the part of the reporting
entity

4. Dividend and Distribution
Information
Income and long-term
capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax
regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Additionally, distributions from
net gains on foreign currency transactions and net short-term gains on sales of
investment securities are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax
purposes. The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years
ended November 30, 2009 and 2008 was as follows:

5. Components of Net Assets on a Tax
Basis
As of November 30, 2009,
the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:
Shares of beneficial interest |
$ |
223,505,236 |
|
Capital loss carryforwards |
|
(58,412,011 |
) |
Other temporary differences |
|
(226,564 |
) |
Unrealized depreciation of investments |
|
|
|
and
foreign currencies |
|
(8,818,765 |
) |
Net assets |
$ |
156,047,896 |
|
The differences between
book basis and tax basis components of net assets are primarily attributable to
tax deferral of losses on wash sales, contingent payment debt instruments, tax
deferral of losses on straddles, tax recognition of unrealized gain on passive
foreign investment companies, tax treatment of CDS contracts, and market
discount and premium on debt instruments.
30
For financial reporting
purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of
permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to tax
treatment of gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions, dividends and
distributions, CDS contracts, market discount and premium on certain debt
instruments and paydowns gains (losses) of mortgage- and asset-backed
securities. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these
reclassifications. For the year ended November 30, 2009, the Fund recorded the
following reclassifications:
Distributions in excess of net
investment income |
$ |
(514,831 |
) |
Accumulated net realized loss |
|
595,276 |
|
Paid-in capital |
|
(80,445 |
) |
For federal income tax
purposes, capital loss carryforwards may be carried forward and applied against
future capital gains. Capital loss carryforwards remaining at November 30, 2009
will expire as follows: $1,676,026 expires in 2015; $34,480,079 expires in 2016,
and $22,255,906 expires in 2017.
6. Capital Stock
Shares obtained under
the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan are purchased by the Fund’s transfer
agent, BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, in the open market if the shares of the
Fund are trading at a discount to the Fund’s net asset value on the dividend
payment date. However, the dividend reinvestment plan provides that if the
shares of the Fund are trading at a premium to the Fund’s net asset value on the
dividend payment date, the Fund will issue shares to shareholders of record at
net asset value. During the year ended November 30, 2009, the fund issued 11,996
shares for $144,672 under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan because the Fund
was trading at a premium to net asset value on the respective dividend payment
dates. Since the Fund was trading at a discount on the respective dividend
payment dates for the year ended November 30, 2009, BNY Mellon Shareowner
Services purchased shares of the Fund on the open market pursuant to the Fund’s
dividend reinvestment plan.
The Fund did not
repurchase any shares under the Share Repurchase Program during the years ended
November 30, 2009 and 2008.
7. Line of Credit
For the year ended
November 30, 2009, the Fund borrowed money pursuant to a $50,000,000 Credit
Agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon) that expires on June 30,
2010. During the year ended November 30, 2009, the Fund’s outstanding borrowings
made pursuant to the Credit Agreement ranged from $40,000,000 to $45,000,000.
Depending on market conditions, the amount borrowed by the Fund pursuant to the
Credit Agreement may be reduced or possibly increased in the
future.
At November 30, 2009,
the par value of loans outstanding was $40,000,000 at a variable interest rate
of 1.5625%. During the year ended November 30, 2009, the average daily balance
of loans outstanding was $43,383,562 at a weighted average interest rate of
approximately 1.406%. Interest on borrowings is based on a variable short-term
rate plus an applicable margin. The commitment fee is computed at a rate of
0.25% per annum on the unused balance. The loan is collateralized by the Fund’s
portfolio.
8. Derivatives
The Fund applies the
amended provisions, as amended to date, of Accounting Standards Codification 815
(ASC 815), Derivatives and Hedging Activities (ASC 815). ASC 815 is intended to
improve financial reporting about derivative instruments by requiring enhanced
disclosures that enable investors to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses
derivatives, 2) how they are accounted for, and 3) how they affect an entity’s
results of operations and financial position.
Foreign Currency Exchange
Contracts — The Fund may
enter into foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency
exchange contracts in order to generate additional income and as a way of
managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to
fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for
the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security
is delivered and paid for. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the
U.S. dollar value of securities it already owns that are denominated in foreign
currencies. The change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When
the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the
difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the
value at the time it was closed.
The use of foreign
currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts does
not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities, but does
establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although
foreign currency exchange contracts limit the risk of loss due to a decline in
the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might
result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, the Fund could be
exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the
terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty
credit risk is the value of its currency exchanged with the counterparty. The
risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and
the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the
Fund to cover the Fund exposure to the counterparty. There were no foreign
currency contracts outstanding at November 30, 2009.
Financial Futures Contracts — A futures contract is an agreement in which
the writer (or seller) of the contract agrees to deliver to the buyer an amount
of cash or securities equal to a specific dollar amount times the difference
between the value of a specific security or index at the close of the last
trading day of the contract and the price at which the agreement is made. The
Fund may use futures in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective.
The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts to hedge its existing
portfolio securities against fluctuations in fair value caused by changes in
prevailing market interest rates. Upon entering into a financial futures
contract, the Fund deposits cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a
broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on
which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker
or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market
value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation
margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until
the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a
realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract
at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of
entering into financial futures contracts include potential imperfect
correlation between the financial
(continues) 31
Notes to financial statements
Delaware Enhanced Global
Dividend and Income Fund
8. Derivatives (continued)
futures contracts and
the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market
for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is minimal counterparty
credit risk to a Fund because futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s
clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees
against default. There were no financial futures contracts outstanding at
November 30, 2009.
Written Options — During the year ended November 30, 2009,
the Fund entered into options contracts in the normal course of pursuing its
investment objective. The Fund may write options contracts for any number of
reasons, including: to manage the Fund’s exposure to changes in securities
prices and foreign currencies; as an efficient means of adjusting the Fund’s
overall exposure to certain markets; in an effort to enhance income; to protect
the value of portfolio securities; and as a cash management tool. The Fund may
write call or put options on securities, financial indices, and foreign
currencies. When the Fund writes an option, a premium is received and a
liability is recorded and adjusted on a daily basis to reflect the current
market value of the options written. Premiums received from writing options that
expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized
gains. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid on
effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is
treated as realized gain or loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is
added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining
whether the Fund has a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the
premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The
Fund, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in
the price of the security underlying the written option. When writing options,
the Fund is subject to minimal counterparty credit risk because the counterparty
is only obligated to pay premiums and does not bear the market risk of an
unfavorable market change.

options during the year ended November 30, 2009 for the Fund are as

Swap Contracts — The Fund may enter into interest rate swap
contracts, index swap contracts and CDS contracts in the normal course of
pursuing its investment objective. The Fund may use interest rate swaps to
adjust the Fund’s sensitivity to interest rates or to hedge against changes in
interest rates. Index swaps may be used to gain exposure to markets that the
Fund invests in, such as the corporate bond market. The Fund may also use index
swaps as a substitute for futures or options contracts if such contracts are not
directly available to the Fund on favorable terms. The Fund may enter into CDS
contracts in order to hedge against a credit event, to enhance total return or
to gain exposure to certain securities or markets.
Interest Rate Swaps. An
interest rate swap contract is an exchange of interest rates between
counterparties. In one instance, an interest rate swap involves payments
received by the Fund from another party based on a variable or floating interest
rate, in return for making payments based on a fixed interest rate. An interest
rate swap can also work in reverse with the Fund receiving payments based on a
fixed interest rate and making payments based on a variable or floating interest
rate. Interest rate swaps may be used to adjust the Fund’s sensitivity to
interest rates or to hedge against changes in interest rates. Periodic payments
on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized
appreciation/depreciation on swap contracts. Upon periodic payment/receipt or
termination of the contract, such amounts are recorded as realized gains or
losses on swap contracts. A Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit
risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from/paid to
the counterparty over the interest rate swap contract’s remaining life, to the
extent that the amount is positive. This risk is mitigated by having a netting
arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of
collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the
counterparty.
Index Swaps. Index swaps
involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market linked return based
on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the security, instrument
or basket of instruments underlying the transaction exceeds the offsetting
interest obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from the counterparty. To
the extent the total return of the security, instrument or basket of instruments
underlying the transaction falls short of the offsetting interest obligation,
the Fund will make a payment to the counterparty. The change in value of swap
contracts outstanding, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or
depreciation daily. A realized gain or loss is recorded on maturity or
termination of the swap contract. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from
counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be
received from/paid to the counterparty over the index swap contract’s remaining
life, to the extent that the amount is positive. This risk is mitigated by
having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the
posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s
exposure to the counterparty.
Credit Default Swaps. A
CDS contract is a risk-transfer instrument through which one party (purchaser of
protection) transfers to another party (seller of protection) the financial risk
of a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement), as it relates to a
particular reference security or basket of securities (such as an index). In
exchange for the protection offered by the seller of protection, the purchaser
of protection agrees to pay the seller of protection a periodic amount at a
stated rate that is applied to the notional amount of the CDS contract. In
addition, an upfront payment may be made or received by the Fund in connection
with an unwinding or assignment of a CDS contract. Upon the occurrence of a
credit event, the seller of protection would pay the par (or other agreed-upon)
value of the referenced security (or basket of securities) to the counterparty.
During the year ended
November 30, 2009, the Fund entered into CDS contracts as a purchaser and seller
of protection. Periodic payments (receipts) on such contracts are accrued daily
and recorded as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upon payment
(receipt), such amounts are recorded as realized losses (gains) on swap
contracts. Upfront payments made or received in connection with CDS contracts
are amortized over the expected life of the CDS contracts as unrealized

losses (gains) on swap
contracts. The change in value of CDS contracts is recorded as unrealized
appreciation or depreciation daily. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon a
credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement) or the maturity or termination of
the agreement.
The Fund may sell credit
default swaps which expose it to risk of loss from credit risk related events
specified in the contract. Credit events generally include, among others,
bankruptcy, failure to pay, and obligation default. As disclosed in the
footnotes to the statement of net assets, the notional value of the protection
sold was $25,000 and the unrealized appreciation of the protection sold was $960
as of November 30, 2009. If a credit event had occurred as of November 30, 2009,
the swaps’ credit-risk-related contingent features would have been triggered and
the Fund would have been required to pay $25,000 less the value of the
contracts’ related reference obligations.
Credit default swaps may
involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference security or
basket of securities directly. Credit default swaps are subject to general
market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk. The Fund’s maximum
risk of loss from counterparty credit risk, either as the seller of protection
or the buyer of protection, is the fair value of the contract. This risk is
mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty
and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the
Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.
Swaps Generally. Because
there is no organized market for swap contracts, the value of open swaps may
differ from that which would be realized in the event the Fund terminated its
position in the agreement. Risks of entering into these contracts include the
potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contracts. This
type of risk is generally limited to the amount of favorable movement in the
value of the underlying security, instrument or basket of instruments, if any,
at the day of default. Risks also arise from potential losses from adverse
market movements and such losses could exceed the unrealized
amounts.
9. Securities Lending
The Fund, along with
other funds in the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds, may
lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement)
with BNY Mellon. With respect to each loan, if the aggregate market value of
securities collateral held plus cash collateral received on any business day is
less than the aggregate market value of the securities which are the subject of
such loan, the borrower will be notified to provide additional collateral not
less than the applicable collateral requirements. Cash collateral received is
generally invested in the Mellon GSL DBT II Collateral Fund (Collective Trust)
established by BNY Mellon for the purpose of investment on behalf of clients
participating in its securities lending programs. The Collective Trust may
invest in fixed income securities, with a weighted average maturity not to
exceed 90 days, rated in one of the top three-tiers by Standard & Poor’s
Ratings Group (S&P) or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s) or
repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities. The Collective Trust
seeks to maintain a net asset value per unit of $1.00, but there can be no
assurance that it will always be able to do so. At November 30, 2009, the
Collective Trust held only cash and assets with a maturity of one business day
or less (Cash/Overnight Assets). The Fund may incur investment losses as a
result of investing securities lending collateral in the Collective Trust. This
could occur if an investment in the Collective Trust defaulted or if it were necessary to
liquidate assets in the Collective Trust to meet returns on outstanding security
loans at a time when the Collective Trust’s net asset value per unit was less
than $1.00. Under those circumstances, the Fund may not receive an amount from
the Collective Trust that is equal in amount to the collateral the Fund would be
required to return to the borrower of the securities and the Fund would be
required to make up for this shortfall. Effective April 20, 2009, BNY Mellon
transferred the assets of the Collective Trust other than the Cash/Overnight
Assets to the BNY Mellon SL DBT II Liquidating Fund (Liquidating Fund),
effectively bifurcating the collateral investment pool. The Fund’s exposure to
the Liquidating Fund is expected to decrease as the Liquidating Fund’s assets
mature or are sold. In October 2008, BNY Mellon transferred certain distressed
securities from the Collective Trust into the Mellon GSL Reinvestment Trust II.
The Fund can also accept U.S. government securities and letters of credit
(non-cash collateral) in connection with securities loans. In the event of
default or bankruptcy by the lending agent, realization and/or retention of the
collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. In the event the borrower fails
to return loaned securities and the collateral received is insufficient to cover
the value of the loaned securities and provided such collateral shortfall is not
the result of investment losses, the lending agent has agreed to pay the amount
of the shortfall to the Fund, or at the discretion of the lending agent, replace
the loaned securities. The Fund continues to record dividends or interest, as
applicable, on the securities loaned and is subject to change in value of the
securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Fund has the
right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on
demand. With respect to security loans collateralized by non-cash collateral,
the Fund receives loan premiums paid by the borrower. With respect to security
loans collateralized by cash collateral, the earnings from the collateral
investments are shared among the Fund, the security lending agent and the
borrower. The Fund records security lending income net of allocations to the
security lending agent and the borrower.
At November 30, 2009,
the value of securities on loan was $15,747,895, for which the Fund received
collateral, comprised of non-cash collateral valued at $18,900, and cash
collateral of $16,239,794. At November 30, 2009, the value of invested
collateral was $15,869,396. Investments purchased with cash collateral are
presented on the statement of net assets under the caption “Securities Lending
Collateral.”
10. Credit and Market Risk
The Fund borrows through
its line of credit for purposes of leveraging. Leveraging may result in higher
degrees of volatility because the Fund’s net asset value could be subject to
fluctuations in short-term interest rates and changes in market value of
portfolio securities attributable to the leverage.
Some countries in which
the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of
investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign
investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of
payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on
foreign capital remittances abroad.
The securities exchanges
of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more
volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently,
acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In
addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity
securities listed on the major
Notes to financial statements
Delaware Enhanced Global
Dividend and Income Fund
10. Credit and Market Risk (continued)
securities exchanges in
emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the
number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the
Fund.
The Fund invests a
portion of its assets in high yield fixed income securities, which carry ratings
of BB or lower by S&P and/or Ba or lower by Moody’s.
Investments in these
higher yielding securities are generally accompanied by a greater degree of
credit risk than higher rated securities. Additionally, lower rated securities
may be more susceptible to adverse economic and competitive industry conditions
than investment grade securities.
The Fund invests in
fixed income securities whose value is derived from an underlying pool of
mortgages or consumer loans. The value of these securities is sensitive to
changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and
maybe adversely affected by shifts in the market’s perception of the issuers and
changes in interest rates.
Investors receive
principal and interest payments as the underlying mortgages or consumer loans
are paid back. Some of these securities are collateralized mortgage obligations
(CMOs). CMOs are debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies or by
financial institutions and other mortgage lenders, which are collateralized by a
pool of mortgages held under an indenture. Prepayment of mortgages may shorten
the stated maturity of the obligations and can result in a loss of premium, if
any has been paid. Certain of these securities may be stripped (securities which
provide only the principal or interest feature of the underlying security). The
yield to maturity on an interest-only CMO is extremely sensitive not only to
changes in prevailing interest rates, but also to the rate of principal payments
(including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets. A rapid rate
of principal payments may have a material adverse affect on the Fund’s yield to
maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated
prepayments of principal, the Fund may fail to fully recoup its initial
investment in these securities even if the securities are rated in the highest
rating categories.
The Fund invests in
REITs and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund
holds real estate directly as a result of defaults or receives rental income
directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment
company may be jeopardized. There were no direct real estate holdings during the
year ended November 30, 2009. The Fund’s REIT holdings are also affected by
interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt
to finance their ongoing operations.
The Fund may invest up
to 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities
with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration
under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities
which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these
securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at
a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining
oversight, the Fund’s Board has delegated to DMC the day-to-day functions of
determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Fund’s
limitation on investments in illiquid assets. Securities eligible for resale
pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the
10% limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A and illiquid
securities have been identified on the statement of net assets.
11. Contractual Obligations
The Fund enters into
contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of
indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is
unknown. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these
contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the
risk of loss to be remote.
12. Sale of Delaware Investments to Macquarie
Group
On August 18, 2009,
Lincoln National Corporation (parent company of Delaware Investments) and
Macquarie Group (Macquarie) entered into an agreement pursuant to which Delaware
Investments, including DMC and DSC, would be acquired by Macquarie, an
Australia-based global provider of banking, financial, advisory, investment and
funds management services (Transaction). The Transaction was completed on
January 4, 2010. DMC and DSC are now wholly owned subsidiaries of Macquarie.
The Transaction resulted
in a change of control of DMC which, in turn, caused the termination of the
investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Fund. On January 4, 2010, the
new investment advisory agreement between DMC and the Fund that was approved by
the shareholders became effective.

Report of
independent
registered public accounting firm
To the Shareholders and
Board of Trustees
Delaware
Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund
We have audited the
accompanying statement of net assets of Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and
Income Fund (the “Fund”) as of November 30, 2009, and the related statements of
operations and cash flows for the year then ended, and the statements of changes
in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the
financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial
statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits
in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to
perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our
audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a
basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances,
but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2009 by correspondence with
the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where
replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the
financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the Delaware Enhanced Global
Dividend and Income Fund at November 30, 2009, the results of its operations and
cash flows for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets for each
of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each
of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan
The Fund offers an
automatic dividend reinvestment plan. The following is a restatement of the plan
description in the Fund’s prospectus:
Unless the registered
owner of the Fund’s common shares elects to receive cash by contacting the Plan
Agent (as defined below), all dividends declared for your common shares of the
Fund will be automatically reinvested by BNY Mellon Shareowner Services (the
“Plan Agent”), agent for shareholders in administering the Fund’s Dividend
Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), in additional common shares of the Fund. If a
registered owner of common shares elects not to participate in the Plan, you
will receive all dividends in cash paid by check mailed directly to you (or, if
the shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to such nominee) by
the Plan Agent, as dividend disbursing agent. You may elect not to participate
in the Plan and to receive all dividends in cash by sending written instructions
or by contacting the Plan Agent, as dividend disbursing agent, at the address
set forth below. Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be
terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by contacting the Plan Agent
before the dividend record date; otherwise such termination or resumption will
be effective with respect to any subsequently declared dividend or other
distribution. Some brokers may automatically elect to receive cash on your
behalf and may re-invest that cash in additional common shares of the Fund for
you. If you wish for all dividends declared on your common shares of the Fund to
be automatically reinvested pursuant to the Plan, please contact your
broker.
38
The Plan Agent will open
an account for each common shareholder under the Plan in the same name in which
such shareholder’s common shares are registered. Whenever the Fund declares a
dividend or other distribution (together, a “dividend”) payable in cash,
non-participants in the Plan will receive cash and participants in the Plan will
receive the equivalent in common shares. The common shares will be acquired by
the Plan Agent for the participants’ accounts, depending upon the circumstances
described below, either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but
authorized common shares from the Fund (“newly issued common shares”) or (ii) by
purchase of outstanding common shares on the open market (“open-market
purchases”) on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere.
If, on the payment date
for any dividend, the market price per common share plus estimated brokerage
commissions is greater than the net asset value per common share (such condition
being referred to herein as “market premium”), the Plan Agent will invest the
dividend amount in newly issued common shares, including fractions, on behalf of
the participants. The number of newly issued common shares to be credited to
each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of
the dividend by the net asset value per common share on the payment date;
provided that, if the net asset value per common share
is less than 95% of the market price per common share on the payment date, the
dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price per
common share on the payment date.
If, on the payment date
for any dividend, the net asset value per common share is greater than the
market value per common share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such
condition being referred to herein as “market discount”), the Plan Agent will
invest the dividend amount in common shares acquired on behalf of the
participants in open-market purchases.
In the event of a market
discount on the payment date for any dividend, the Plan Agent will have until
the last business day before the next date on which the common shares trade on
an “ex-dividend” basis or 30 days after the payment date for such dividend,
whichever is sooner (the “last purchase date”), to invest the dividend amount in
common shares acquired in open-market purchases. It is contemplated that the
Fund will pay monthly dividends. Therefore, the period during which open-market
purchases can be made will exist only from the payment date of each dividend
through the date before the next “ex-dividend” date. If, before the Plan Agent
has completed its open-market purchases, the market price of a common share
exceeds the net asset value per common share, the average per common share
purchase price paid by the Plan Agent may exceed the net asset value of the
common shares, resulting in the acquisition of fewer common shares than if the
dividend had been paid in newly issued common shares on the dividend payment
date. Because of the foregoing difficulty with respect to open market purchases,
if the Plan Agent is unable to invest the full dividend amount in open market
purchases during the purchase period or if the market discount shifts to a
market premium during the purchase period, the Plan Agent may cease making
open-market purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the dividend
amount in newly issued common shares at the net asset value per common share at
the close of business on the last purchase date; provided that, if
the net asset value per common share is less than 95% of the market price per
common share on the payment date, the dollar amount of the dividend will be
divided by 95% of the market price per common share on the payment
date.
The Plan Agent maintains
all shareholders’ accounts in the Plan and furnishes written confirmation of all
transactions in the accounts, including information needed by shareholders for
tax records. Common shares in the account of each Plan participant will be held
by the Plan Agent on behalf of the Plan participant, and each shareholder proxy
will include those shares purchased or received pursuant to the Plan. The Plan
Agent will forward all proxy solicitation materials to participants and vote
proxies for shares held under the Plan in accordance with the instructions of
the participants.
In the case of
shareholders such as banks, brokers or nominees which hold shares for others who
are the beneficial owners, the Plan Agent will administer the Plan on the basis
of the number of common shares certified from time to time by the record
shareholder’s name and held for the account of beneficial owners who participate
in the Plan.
There will be no
brokerage charges with respect to common shares issued directly by the Fund.
However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of
brokerage commissions incurred in connection with open-market purchases. The
automatic reinvestment of dividends will not relieve participants of any U.S.
federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be
withheld) on such dividends. Participants that request a sale of shares through
the Plan Agent are subject to a $15.00 sales fee and a brokerage commission of
$.12 per share sold.
The Fund reserves the
right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to
participants in the Plan; however, the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan
to include a service charge payable by the participants.
All correspondence
concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent at BNY Mellon
Shareowner Services, Box 3338, South Hackensack, NJ 07606-1938; telephone:
800-851-9677.
Board Consideration of New Investment Advisory
Agreement
At a meeting held on
September 3, 2009 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Directors of the Delaware
Investments®
Family of Funds (the
“Board”), including the independent Directors, unanimously approved a new
investment advisory agreement between each registrant on behalf of each series
(each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”) and Delaware Management Company
(“DMC”) in connection with the sale of Delaware Investments’ advisory business
to Macquarie Bank Limited (the “Macquarie Group”) (the “Transaction”). In making
its decision, the Board considered information furnished specifically in
connection with the approval of the new investment advisory agreements with DMC
(the “New Investment Advisory Agreements”), which included extensive materials
about the Transaction and matters related to the proposed approvals. To assist
the Board in considering the New Investment Advisory Agreements, Macquarie Group
provided materials and information about Macquarie Group, including detailed
written responses to the questions posed by the independent Directors. DMC also
provided materials and information about the Transaction, including detailed
written responses to the questions posed by the independent
Directors.

Delaware Enhanced Global
Dividend and Income Fund
Board Consideration of New Investment Advisory
Agreement (continued)
At the Meeting, the
Directors discussed the Transaction with DMC management and with key Macquarie
Group representatives. The Meeting included discussions of the strategic
rationale for the Transaction and Macquarie Group’s general plans and intentions
regarding the Funds and DMC. The Board members also inquired about the plans
for, and anticipated roles and responsibilities of, key employees and officers
of Delaware Management Holdings Inc. and DMC in connection with the
Transaction.
In connection with the
Directors’ review of the New Investment Advisory Agreements for the Funds, DMC
and/or Macquarie Group emphasized that:
- They expected that there would be
no adverse changes as a result of the Transaction, in the nature, quality, or
extent of services currently provided to the Funds and their shareholders,
including investment management, distribution, or other shareholder
services.
- No material changes in personnel
or operations were contemplated in the operation of DMC under Macquarie Group
as a result of the Transaction and no material changes were currently
contemplated in connection with third party service providers to the
Funds.
- Macquarie Group had no intention
to cause DMC to alter the voluntary expense waivers and reimbursements
currently in effect for the Funds.
- Under the agreement between
Macquarie Group and Lincoln National Corporation (“LNC”) (the “Transaction
Agreement”), Macquarie Group has agreed to conduct, and to cause its
affiliates to conduct, their respective businesses in compliance with the
conditions of Section 15(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940
Act”) with respect to the Funds, to the extent within its control, including
maintaining Board composition of at least 75% of the Board members qualifying
as independent Directors and not imposing any “unfair burden” on the Funds for
at least two years from the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”).
In addition to the
information provided by DMC and Macquarie Group as described above, the
Directors also considered all other factors they believed to be relevant to
evaluating the New Investment Advisory Agreements, including the specific
matters discussed below. In their deliberations, the Directors did not identify
any particular information that was controlling, and different Directors may
have attributed different weights to the various factors. However, for each
Fund, the Directors determined that the overall arrangements between the Fund
and DMC, as provided in the respective New Investment Advisory Agreement,
including the proposed advisory fee and the related administration arrangements
between the Fund and DMC, were fair and reasonable in light of the services to
be performed, expenses incurred, and such other matters as the Directors
considered relevant. Factors evaluated included:
- The potential for expanding
distribution of Fund shares through access to Macquarie Group’s existing
distribution channels;
- Delaware Investments’ acquisition
of an exclusive wholesaling sales force from a subsidiary of
LNC;
- The reputation, financial
strength, and resources of Macquarie Group as well as its historic and ongoing
commitment to the asset management business in Australia as well as other
parts of the world;
- The terms and conditions of the
New Investment Advisory Agreements, including that each Fund’s total
contractual fee rate under the New Investment Advisory Agreement will remain
the same;
- The Board’s full annual review (or
initial approval) of the current investment advisory agreements at their
in-person meeting in May 2009 as required by the 1940 Act and its
determination that (i) DMC had the capabilities, resources, and personnel
necessary to provide the satisfactory advisory and administrative services
currently provided to each Fund and (ii) the advisory and/or management fees
paid by each Fund, taking into account any applicable fee waivers and
breakpoints, represented reasonable compensation to DMC in light of the
services provided, the costs to DMC of providing those services, economies of
scale, and the fees and other expenses paid by similar funds and such other
matters that the Board considered relevant in the exercise of its reasonable
judgment;
- The portfolio management teams for
the Funds are not currently expected to change as a result of the
Transaction;
- LNC and Macquarie Group were
expected to execute a reimbursement agreement pursuant to which LNC and
Macquarie Group would agree to pay (or reimburse) all reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses of the Funds in connection with the Board’s consideration
of the Transaction, the New Investment Advisory Agreements and related
agreements, and all costs related to the proxy solicitation (the “Expense
Agreement”);
- The likelihood that Macquarie
Group would invest additional amounts in Delaware Investments, including DMC,
which could result in increased assets under management, which in turn would
allow some Funds the potential opportunity to achieve economies of scale and
lower fees payable by Fund shareholders; and
- The compliance and regulatory
history of Macquarie Group and its affiliates.
In making their decision
relating to the approval of each Fund’s New Investment Advisory Agreement, the
independent Directors gave attention to all information furnished. The following
discussion, however, identifies the primary factors taken into account by the
Directors and the conclusions reached in approving the New Investment Advisory
Agreements.
40
Nature, Extent, and Quality of
Service. The Directors
considered the services historically provided by DMC to the Funds and their
shareholders. In reviewing the nature, extent, and quality of services, the
Board considered that the New Investment Advisory Agreements would be
substantially similar to the current investment advisory agreements between the
Funds and DMC (the “Current Investment Advisory Agreements”), and they,
therefore, considered the many reports furnished to them throughout 2008 and
2009 at regular Board meetings covering matters such as the relative performance
of the Funds; the compliance of portfolio managers with the investment policies,
strategies, and restrictions for the Funds; the compliance of management
personnel with the code of ethics adopted throughout the Delaware Investments
Family of Funds complex; and the adherence to fair value pricing procedures as
established by the Board. The Directors were pleased with the current staffing
of DMC and the emphasis placed on research and risk management in the investment
process. Favorable consideration was given to DMC’s efforts to maintain
expenditures and, in some instances, increase financial and human resources
committed to Fund matters.
The Board was assured
that shareholders would continue to receive the benefits provided to Fund
shareholders by being part of the Delaware Investments Family of Funds. Based on
the information provided by DMC and Macquarie Group, including that Macquarie
Group and DMC currently expected no material changes as a result of the
Transaction in (i) personnel or operations of DMC or (ii) third party service
providers to the Funds, the Board concluded that the satisfactory nature,
extent, and quality of services currently provided to the Funds and their
shareholders were very likely to continue under the New Investment Advisory
Agreements. The Board also concluded that it was very unlikely that any “unfair
burden” would be imposed on any of the Funds for the first two years following
the Closing as a result of the Transaction. Consequently, the Board concluded
that it did not expect the Transaction to result in any adverse changes in the
nature, quality, or extent of services (including investment management,
distribution or other shareholder services) currently provided to the Funds and
their shareholders.
Investment Performance. The Board considered the overall investment
performance of DMC and the Funds. The Directors placed significant emphasis on
the investment performance of the Funds in view of its importance to
shareholders. Although the Directors gave appropriate consideration to
performance reports and discussions with portfolio managers at Board meetings
throughout the year, the Directors gave particular weight to their review of
investment performance in connection with the approval of the Current Investment
Advisory Agreements at the Board meeting held in May 2009. At that meeting, the
Directors reviewed reports prepared by Lipper, Inc., an independent statistical
compilation organization (“Lipper”) which showed each Fund’s investment
performance as of December 31, 2008 in comparison to a group of funds selected
by Lipper as being similar to the Fund (the “Performance Universe”). During the
May 2009 agreement review process, the Directors observed the significant
improvements to relative investment performance of the Funds as compared to the
Funds’ performance as of December 31, 2007.
At their meeting on
September 3, 2009, the Directors, including the independent Directors in
consultation with their independent counsel, reviewed the investment performance
of each Fund. The Directors compared the performance of each Fund relative to
that of its respective Performance Universe for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year
periods ended June 30, 2009 and compared its relative investment performance
against the corresponding relative investment performance of each Fund for such
time periods ended December 31, 2008, to the extent applicable. As of June 30,
2009, 30 of the Funds had investment performance relative to that of the
respective Performance Universe that was better than the corresponding relative
investment performance at December 31, 2008 for all applicable time periods. At
June 30, 2009, an additional 6 Funds had investment performance relative to that
of their respective Performance Universe that was better than the corresponding
relative investment performance at December 31, 2008 for a majority of the
applicable time periods. At June 30, 2009, 15 additional Funds had investment
performance relative to that of their respective Performance Universe that was
better than the corresponding relative performance at December 31, 2008 and only
29 Funds had poorer relative investment performance at June 30, 2009 compared to
that at December 31, 2008. The Board therefore concluded that the investment
performance of the Funds on an aggregate basis had continued to improve relative
to their respective Performance Universe since the data reviewed at the May 2009
meeting.
The Performance Universe
for the Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund consisted of the Fund
and all non-leveraged closed-end global funds as selected by Lipper. The Lipper
report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the one-year period
was in the fourth quartile. The Fund’s performance results were not in line with
the Board’s objective. However, in evaluating performance, the Board considered
the Fund’s short existence. The Board was satisfied that Management was taking
effective action to improve Fund performance and meet the Board’s performance
objective.
Based on information
provided by DMC and Macquarie Group, the Board concluded that neither the
Transaction nor the New Investment Advisory Agreement would likely have an
adverse effect on the investment performance of any Fund because (i) DMC and
Macquarie Group did not currently expect the Transaction to cause any material
change to the Funds’ portfolio management teams responsible for investment
performance, which the Board found to be satisfactory and improving; and (ii) as
discussed in more detail below, the Funds’ expenses were not expected to
increase as a result of the Transaction.
Comparative Expenses. The Directors also considered expense
comparison data for the Funds previously provided in May 2009. At that meeting,
DMC had provided the Board with information on pricing levels and fee structures
for the Funds and comparative funds. The Directors focused on the comparative
analysis of the effective management fees and total expense ratios of each Fund
versus the effective management fees and expense ratios of a group of funds
selected by Lipper as being similar to each Fund (the “Expense Group”). In
reviewing comparative costs, each Fund’s contractual management fee and the
actual management fee incurred by the Fund were compared with the contractual
management fees (assuming all funds in the Expense Group were similar in size to
the Fund) and actual management fees (as reported by each fund) of other funds
within the Expense Group, taking into account any applicable breakpoints and fee
limitations. Each Fund’s total expenses were also compared with those of its
Expense Group. The Directors also considered fees paid to Delaware Investments
for nonmanagement services. At the September 3, 2009 meeting, DMC advised the
Board that the more recent comparative expenses for the Funds remained
consistent with the previous review in May 2009 and, consequently, the Directors
concluded that expenses of the Funds were satisfactory.

Delaware Enhanced Global
Dividend and Income Fund
Board Consideration of New Investment Advisory
Agreement (continued)
The Board also
considered the Expense Agreement under negotiation in evaluating Fund expenses.
The Directors expected that the Expense Agreement would provide that LNC and
Macquarie Group would pay or reimburse the Funds for all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with the Transaction and the
consideration of the New Investment Advisory Agreements (subject to certain
limited exceptions).
Based on information
provided by DMC and Macquarie Group, the Board concluded that neither the
Transaction nor the New Investment Advisory Agreements likely would have an
adverse effect on the Funds’ expenses because (i) each Fund’s contractual fee
rates under the New Investment Advisory Agreement would remain the same; (ii)
under the Expense Agreement, the Funds would be reimbursed for all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with the Transaction and the
related proxy solicitation (subject to certain limited exceptions); and (iii)
the expense ratios of certain Funds might decline as a result of the possible
increased investment in Delaware Investments by Macquarie Group, as discussed
below under “Economies of Scale.”
Management Profitability. At their meeting on September 3, 2009, the
Board evaluated DMC’s profitability in connection with the operation of the
Funds. The Board had previously considered DMC’s profitability in connection
with the operation of the Funds at its May 2009 meeting. At that meeting, the
Board reviewed an analysis that addressed the overall profitability of Delaware
Investments’ business in providing management and other services to each of the
Funds and the Delaware Investments Family of Funds as a whole. Specific
attention was given to the methodology followed in allocating costs for the
purpose of determining profitability.
At the May 2009 meeting,
representatives of DMC had stated that the level of profits of DMC, to a certain
extent, reflect operational cost savings and efficiencies initiated by Delaware
Investments (including DMC and its affiliates that provide services to the
Funds). The Board considered Delaware Investments’ efforts to improve services
provided to Fund shareholders and to meet additional regulatory and compliance
requirements resulting from recent industry-wide U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission initiatives. At that meeting, the Board found that the management
fees were reasonable in light of the services rendered and the level of
profitability of DMC. At the September 3, 2009 meeting, DMC advised the Board
that DMC did not expect the Transaction to affect materially the profitability
of Delaware Investments compared to the level of profitability considered during
the May 2009 review. Moreover, the Directors reviewed pro forma balance
sheets of certain key companies in Delaware Investments as of June 30, 2009
(which were provided by Macquarie Group and DMC in response to the Directors’
requests) and evaluated the projections of Delaware Investments’ capitalization
following the Transaction for purposes of evaluating the financial ability of
Delaware Investments to continue to provide the nature, extent, and quality of
services as it had under the Current Investment Advisory Agreement.
Based on information
provided by DMC and Macquarie Group, the Board concluded that DMC and Delaware
Investments would be sufficiently capitalized following the Transaction to
continue the same level and quality of services to the Funds under the New
Investment Advisory Agreements as was the case under the Current Investment
Advisory Agreements. The Board also concluded that Macquarie Group had
sufficient financial strength and resources, as well as an ongoing commitment to
a global asset management business, to continue investing in Delaware
Investments, including DMC, to the extent that Macquarie Group determined it was
appropriate. Finally, because services and costs were expected to be
substantially the same (and DMC had represented that, correspondingly,
profitability would be about the same), under the New Investment Advisory
Agreements as under the Current Investment Advisory Agreements, the Directors
concluded that the profitability of Delaware Investments would not result in an
inequitable charge on the Funds or their shareholders. Accordingly, the Board
concluded that the fees charged under the New Investment Advisory Agreements
would be reasonable in light of the services to be provided and the expected
profitability of DMC.
Economies of Scale. As a closed-end fund, the Funds do not issue
shares on a continuous basis. Fund assets increase only to the extent that the
values of the underlying securities in the Fund increase. Accordingly, the Board
determined that the Funds were not likely to experience significant economies of
scale due to asset growth and, therefore, a fee schedule with breakpoints to
pass the benefit of economies of scale on to shareholders was not likely to
provide the intended effect.
The Board also
acknowledged Macquarie Group’s statement that the Transaction would not by
itself immediately provide additional economies of scale given Macquarie Group’s
limited presence in the U.S. mutual fund market. Nonetheless, the Directors
concluded that additional economies of scale could potentially be achieved in
the future if DMC were owned by Macquarie Group as a result of Macquarie Group’s
willingness to invest further in Delaware Investments if appropriate
opportunities arise.
Fall-Out Benefits. The Board acknowledged that DMC would
continue to benefit from soft dollar arrangements using portfolio brokerage of
each Fund that invests in equity securities and that DMC’s profitability would
likely be somewhat lower without the benefit of practices with respect to
allocating Fund portfolio brokerage for brokerage and research services. The
Board also considered that Macquarie Group and Delaware Investments may derive
reputational, strategic, and other benefits from their association with the
Delaware Investments Family of Funds, and evaluated the extent to which Delaware
Investments might derive ancillary benefits from Fund operations, including the
potential for procuring additional business as a result of the prestige and
visibility associated with its role as service provider to the Delaware
Investments Family of Funds and the benefits from allocation of Fund brokerage
to improve trading efficiencies. However, the Board concluded that (i) any such
benefits under the New Investment Advisory Agreements would not be dissimilar
from those existing under the Current Investment Advisory Agreements; (ii) such
benefits did not impose a cost or burden on the Funds or their shareholders; and
(iii) such benefits would probably have an indirectly beneficial effect on the
Funds and their shareholders because of the added importance that DMC and
Macquarie Group might attach to the Funds as a result of the fall-out benefits
that the Funds conveyed.
42
Board Review of Macquarie
Group. The Directors
reviewed detailed information supplied by Macquarie Group about its operations
as well as other information regarding Macquarie Group provided by independent
legal counsel to the independent Directors. Based on this review, the Directors
concluded that Delaware Investments would continue to have the financial ability
to maintain the high quality of services required by the Funds. The Directors
noted that there would be a limited transition period during which some services
previously provided by LNC to Delaware Investments would continue to be provided
by LNC after the Closing, and concluded that this arrangement would help
minimize disruption in Delaware Investments’ provision of services to the Funds
following the Transaction.
The Board considered
Macquarie Group’s current intention to leave the Funds’ other service providers
in place. The Board also considered Macquarie Group’s current strategic plans to
increase its asset management activities, one of its core businesses,
particularly in North America, and its statement that its acquisition of DMC is
an important component of this strategic growth and the establishment of a
significant presence in the United States. Based in part on the information
provided by DMC and Macquarie Group, the Board concluded that Macquarie Group’s
acquisition of Delaware Investments could potentially enhance the nature,
quality, and extent of services provided to the Funds and their
shareholders.
Conclusion. The Board concluded that the advisory fee
rate under each New Investment Advisory Agreement was reasonable in relation to
the services provided and that execution of the New Investment Advisory
Agreement would be in the best interests of the shareholders. For each Fund, the
Directors noted that they had concluded in their most recent advisory agreement
continuance considerations in May 2009 that the management fees and total
expense ratios were at acceptable levels in light of the quality of services
provided to the Funds and in comparison to those of the Funds’ respective peer
groups; that the advisory fee schedule would not be increased and would stay the
same for all of the Funds; that the total expense ratio had not changed
materially since that determination; and that DMC had represented that the
overall expenses for each Fund were not expected to be adversely affected by the
Transaction. The Directors also noted, with respect to the Funds that currently
had the benefit of voluntary fee limitations, that Macquarie Group had no
present intention to cause DMC to alter any voluntary expense limitations or
reimbursements currently in effect. On that basis, the Trustees concluded that
the total expense ratios and proposed advisory fees for the Funds anticipated to
result from the Transaction were acceptable. In approving each New Investment
Advisory Agreement, the Board stated that it anticipated reviewing the
continuance of the New Investment Advisory Agreement in advance of the
expiration of the initial two-year period.

Board of
trustees/directors
and officers addendum
Delaware Investments® Family of Funds
A mutual fund is
governed by a Board of Trustees/Directors (“Trustees”), which has oversight
responsibility for the management of a fund’s business affairs. Trustees
establish procedures and oversee and review the performance of the investment
manager, the distributor, and others who perform services for the fund. The
independent fund trustees, in particular, are advocates for shareholder
interests. Each trustee has served in that capacity since he or she was elected
to or appointed to the Board of Trustees, and will continue to serve until his
or her retirement or the election of a new trustee in his or her place. The
following is a list of the Trustees and Officers with certain background and
related information.

Item 3. Audit Committee
Financial Expert
The registrant’s Board of Trustees/Directors has determined that each
member of the registrant’s Audit Committee is an audit committee financial
expert, as defined below. For purposes of this item, an “audit committee
financial expert” is a person who has the following attributes:

accepted accounting principles and financial statements;
b. The ability to assess the general
application of such principles in connection with the accounting for estimates,
accruals, and reserves;
c. Experience preparing, auditing,
analyzing, or evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level
of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth
and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the
registrant’s financial statements, or experience actively supervising one or
more persons engaged in such activities;
d. An understanding of internal
controls and procedures for financial reporting; and
e. An understanding of audit
committee functions.
An “audit committee

a. Education and experience as a
principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, public
accountant, or auditor or experience in one or more positions that involve the
performance of similar functions;
b. Experience actively supervising a
principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, public
accountant, auditor, or person performing similar functions;
c. Experience overseeing or assessing the performance of companies or
public accountants with respect to the preparation, auditing, or evaluation of
financial statements; or
d. Other relevant experience.
The registrant’s Board of
Trustees/Directors has also determined that each member of the registrant’s
Audit Committee is independent. In order to be “independent” for purposes of
this item, the Audit Committee member may not: (i) other than in his or her
capacity as a member of the Board of Trustees/Directors or any committee
thereof, accept directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory or other
compensatory fee from the issuer; or (ii) be an “interested person” of the
registrant as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

services is compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence.
Item 5. Audit Committee
of Listed Registrants
The registrant has a
separately-designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with
Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The members of the

Item 7. Disclosure of
Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment
Companies
The registrant has formally delegated to its investment adviser(s) (the
“Adviser”) the ability to make all proxy voting decisions in relation to
portfolio securities held by the registrant. If and when proxies need to be
voted on behalf of the registrant, the Adviser will vote such proxies pursuant
to its Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures (the “Procedures”). The Adviser has
established a Proxy Voting Committee (the “Committee”) which is responsible for
overseeing the Adviser’s proxy voting process for the registrant. One of the
main responsibilities of the Committee is to review and approve the Procedures
to ensure that the Procedures are designed to allow the Adviser to vote proxies
in a manner consistent with the goal of voting in the best interests of the
registrant.
In order to facilitate the actual process of voting proxies, the Adviser
has contracted with Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”), a wholly owned
subsidiary of RiskMetrics Group ("RiskMetrics"), to analyze proxy statements on
behalf of the registrant and other Adviser clients and vote proxies generally in
accordance with the Procedures. The Committee is responsible for overseeing
ISS/RiskMetrics’s proxy voting activities. If a proxy has been voted for the
registrant, ISS/RiskMetrics will create a record of the vote. By no later than
August 31 of each year, information (if any) regarding how the registrant voted
proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recently disclosed 12-month period ended June
30 is available without charge (i) through the registrant’s Web site at
http://www.delawareinvestments.com; and (ii) on the Commission’s Web site at
http://www.sec.gov.
The Procedures contain a general guideline that recommendations of
company management on an issue (particularly routine issues) should be given a
fair amount of weight in determining how proxy issues should be voted. However,
the Adviser will normally vote against management’s position when it runs
counter to its specific Proxy Voting Guidelines (the “Guidelines”), and the
Adviser will also vote against management’s recommendation when it believes that
such position is not in the best interests of the registrant.
As stated above, the Procedures also list specific Guidelines on how to
vote proxies on behalf of the registrant. Some examples of the Guidelines are as
follows: (i) generally vote for shareholder proposals asking that a majority or
more of directors be independent; (ii) generally vote against proposals to
require a supermajority shareholder vote; (iii) votes on mergers and
acquisitions should be considered on a case-by-case basis, determining whether
the transaction enhances shareholder value; (iv) generally vote against
proposals to create a new class of common stock with superior voting rights; (v)
generally vote re-incorporation proposals on a case-by-case basis; (vi) votes
with respect to equity-based compensation plans are generally determined on a
case-by-case basis; and (vii) generally vote for proposals requesting reports on
the level of greenhouse gas emissions from a company’s operations and products.
Because the registrant has delegated proxy voting to the Adviser, the
registrant is not expected to encounter any conflict of interest issues
regarding proxy voting and therefore does not have procedures regarding this
matter. However, the Adviser does have a section in its Procedures that
addresses the possibility of conflicts of interest. Most proxies which the
Adviser receives on behalf of the registrant are voted by ISS/RiskMetrics in
accordance with the Procedures. Because almost all registrant proxies are voted
by ISS/RiskMetrics pursuant to the pre-determined Procedures, it normally will
not be necessary for the Adviser to make an actual determination of how to vote
a particular proxy, thereby largely eliminating conflicts of interest for the
Adviser during the proxy voting process. In the very limited instances where the
Adviser is considering voting a proxy contrary to ISS/RiskMetrics’s
recommendation, the Committee will first assess the issue to see if there is any
possible conflict of interest involving the Adviser or affiliated persons of the
Adviser. If a member of the Committee has actual knowledge of a conflict of
interest, the Committee will normally use another independent third party to do
additional research on the particular proxy issue in order to make a
recommendation to the Committee on how to vote the proxy in the best interests
of the registrant. The Committee will then review the proxy voting materials and
recommendation provided by ISS/RiskMetrics and the independent third party to
determine how to vote the issue in a manner which the Committee believes is
consistent with the Procedures and in the best interests of the registrant.

DESCRIPTION
OF MATERIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Individual
portfolio managers may perform investment management services for other funds or
accounts similar to those provided to the Funds and the investment action for
such other fund or account and the Funds may differ. For example, an account or
fund may be selling a security, while another account or Fund may be purchasing
or holding the same security. As a result, transactions executed for one fund or
account may adversely affect the value of securities held by another fund,
account or Fund. Additionally, the management of multiple other funds or
accounts and the Funds may give rise to potential conflicts of interest, as a
portfolio manager must allocate time and effort to multiple funds or accounts
and the Funds. A portfolio manager may discover an investment opportunity that
may be suitable for more than one account or fund. The investment opportunity
may be limited, however, so that all funds or accounts for which the investment
would be suitable may not be able to participate. The Manager has adopted
procedures designed to allocate investments fairly across multiple funds or
accounts.
Two
of the accounts managed by the portfolio managers have a performance-based fee.
This compensation structure presents a potential conflict of interest. The
portfolio manager has an incentive to manage this account so as to enhance its
performance, to the possible detriment of other accounts for which the
investment manager does not receive a performance-based fee.
A
portfolio manager’s management of personal accounts also may present certain
conflicts of interest. While Delaware’s code of ethics is designed to address
these potential conflicts, there is no guarantee that it will do
so.
Compensation
Structure
Each portfolio’s manager’s
compensation consists of the following:
Base
Salary - Each named portfolio
manager receives a fixed base salary. Salaries are determined by a
comparison to industry data prepared by third parties to ensure that portfolio
manager salaries are in line with salaries paid at peer investment advisory
firms.
Bonus – (Mr. Nutt only) Each named
portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus. The
bonus pool is determined by the revenues associated with the products a
portfolio manager manages. Delaware keeps a percentage of the
revenues and the remaining percentage of revenues (minus appropriate expenses
associated with relevant product and the investment management team) create the
"bonus pool" for the product. Various members of the team have the
ability to earn a percentage of the bonus pool with the most senior contributor
having the largest share. The pool is allotted based on subjective
factors and objective factors. The primary objective factor is the
performance of the funds managed relative to the performance of the appropriate
Lipper peer groups and the performance of institutional composites relative to
the appropriate indices. Performance is measured as the result of
one's standing in the Lipper peer groups on a one-year, three-year and five-year
basis. Three-year and five-year performance is weighted more heavily
and there is no objective award for a fund whose performance falls below the
50th percentile for a given time period.
Individual
allocations of the bonus pool are based on individual performance measurements,
both objective and subjective, as determined by senior management.
(Mr. Andres and Mr. Zenouzi
only) Each named portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash
bonus. The bonus pool is determined by the revenues associated with
the products a portfolio manager manages. Delaware keeps a percentage
of the revenues and the remaining percentage of revenues (minus appropriate
expenses associated with relevant product and the investment management team)
create the "bonus pool" for the product. Various members of the team
have the ability to earn a percentage of the bonus pool with the most senior
contributor having the largest share. The pool is allotted based on
subjective factors (50%) and objective factors (50%). The primary
objective factor is the performance of the funds managed relative to the
performance of the appropriate Lipper peer groups and the performance of
institutional composites relative to the appropriate indices. Performance is
measured as the result of one’s standing in the Lipper peer groups on a
one-year, three-year and five-year basis. Three-year and five-year
performance is weighed more heavily and there is no objective award for a fund
whose performance falls below the 50th percentile for a given time
period.
Individual
allocations of the bonus pool are based on individual performance measurements,
both objective and subjective, as determined by senior management.
(Mr. Gray only) Each named
portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus. The bonus pool is
determined by the revenues associated with the products a portfolio manager
manages. Delaware keeps a percentage of the revenues and the
remaining percentage of revenues (minus appropriate expenses associated with
relevant product and the investment management team) create the "bonus pool" for
the product. Various members of the team have the ability to earn a
percentage of the bonus pool with the most senior contributor having the largest
share. The pool is allotted based on subjective factors (50%) and
objective factors (50%). The primary objective factor is the
performance of the funds managed relative to the performance of the appropriate
Lipper peer groups and the performance of institutional composites relative to
the appropriate indices. Performance is measured as the result
of one’s standing in the Lipper peer groups on a one-year, three-year and
five-year basis. Three-year and five-year performance are weighted
more heavily and there is no objective award for a fund whose performance falls
below the 50th
percentile for a given time period.
Individual
allocations of the bonus pool are based on individual performance measurements,
both objective and subjective, as determined by senior management.
(Mr. Chen only) There is a
base bonus that is guaranteed. Any additional bonus over the base
bonus is 100% based on subjective factors. After certain performance
objectives are reached the bonus pool will increase above the base
bonus. The primary objective is the performance of the fund relative
to the Emerging Markets Lipper peer group. Performance is measured as
the result of one's standing in the Lipper peer group on a one-year, three-year
and five-year basis. Three year performance is weighted more heavily
and there is no award above the base bonus for performance below the 40th
percentile for a given time period. There is a sliding scale for
performance achievements above the 40th percentile.
(Mr. Chow, Mr. Early and Mr. Loome
only) Due to transitioning of
responsibilities of our fixed income managers over the past year, some of the
managers’ bonuses may have been guaranteed for the past year. It is anticipated
that going forward an objective component will be added to the bonus for each
manager that is reflective of account performance relative to an appropriate
peer group or database. The following paragraph describes the
structure of the non-guaranteed bonus.
Each
portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus, which is based on
quantitative and qualitative factors. There is one pool for bonus
payments for the fixed income department. The amount of the pool for
bonus payments is determined by assets managed (including investment companies,
insurance product-related accounts and other separate accounts), management fees
and related expenses (including fund waiver expenses) for registered investment
companies, pooled vehicles, and managed separate accounts. Generally,
60%-75% of the bonus is quantitatively determined. For more senior
portfolio managers, a higher percentage of the bonus is quantitatively
determined. For investment companies, each manager is compensated according the
Fund’s Lipper or Morningstar peer group percentile ranking on a one-year,
three-year, and five-year basis, with longer-term performance more heavily
weighted. For managed separate accounts the portfolio managers are
compensated according to the composite percentile ranking against the Frank
Russell and Callan Associates databases (or similar sources of relative
performance data) on a one-year, three-year, and five-year basis, with longer
term performance more heavily weighted. There is no objective award
for a fund that falls below the 50th
percentile, but incentives reach maximum potential at the 25th-30th
percentile. There is a sliding scale for investment companies that
are ranked above the 50th
percentile. The remaining 25%-40% portion of the bonus is
discretionary as determined by Delaware Investments and takes into account
subjective factors.
For
new and recently transitioned portfolio managers, the compensation may be
weighted more heavily towards a portfolio manager’s actual contribution and
ability to influence performance, rather than longer-term
performance. Management intends to move the compensation structure
towards longer-term performance for these portfolio managers over
time.
Deferred
Compensation – Each named portfolio manager is eligible to participate in
the Lincoln National Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation &
Supplemental/Excess Retirement Plan, which is available to all employees whose
base salaries or established compensation exceed a designated threshold. The
Plan is a non-qualified unfunded deferred compensation plan that permits
participating employees to defer the receipt of a portion of their cash
compensation.
Stock Option
Incentive Plan/Equity Compensation Plan - Portfolio managers may be
awarded options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and
restricted stock units (collectively, “Awards”) relating to the underlying
shares of common stock of Delaware Investments U.S., Inc. pursuant to the terms
of the Amended and Restated Delaware Investments U.S., Inc. Incentive
Compensation Plan.
The
Amended and Restated Delaware Investments U.S., Inc. Incentive Compensation Plan
was established in 2001 in order to: attract, retain and reward key employees of
the company; enable such employees to acquire or increase an equity interest in
the company in order to align the interest of such employees and the company;
and provide such employees with incentives to expend their maximum
efforts. Subject to the terms of the plan and
applicable award agreements, Awards typically vest in 25% increments on a
four-year schedule, and shares of common stock underlying the Awards are issued
after vesting. Awards are granted under the plan from time to time by
the company. Awards may be based in part on seniority. The
fair market value of the shares of Delaware Investments U.S., Inc., is normally
determined as of each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December
31. The fair market value of shares of common stock underlying Awards
granted on or after December 26, 2008 is determined by an independent appraiser
utilizing an appraisal valuation methodology in compliance with Section 409A of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the regulations promulgated
thereunder. The fair market value of shares of common stock
underlying Awards granted prior to December 26, 2008 is determined by an
independent appraiser utilizing a formula based valuation
methodology. Shares issued typically must be held for six months and
one day, after which time the stockholder may put them back to the company and
the shares may be called back from the stockholder by the company from time to
time, as the case may be.
Other
Compensation - Portfolio managers may also participate in benefit plans
and programs available generally to all employees.
