The Delaware Funds by Macquarie municipal income funds, all closed-end management investment companies, including Delaware Investments Colorado Municipal Income Fund, Inc., Delaware Investments National Municipal Income Fund, and Delaware Investments Minnesota Municipal Income Fund II, Inc. (individually, a “Fund,” and together, the “Funds”), announced today that their Board has approved changes to each Fund’s Bylaws designed to allow for the more orderly conduct of shareholder meetings. Each Fund’s Bylaws have been amended to provide as follows:

- For nominations or a proposal to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a proponent: (i) the proponent must have given a timely shareholder notice in writing to the Secretary of a Fund at the principal executive offices of the Fund; and (ii) the proponent or its representative must attend the annual meeting in person and present the nominations or the proposal to be considered. To be timely, a shareholder notice must be made in writing and received by the Secretary of a Fund by close of business not more than 150 days and not less than 120 days before the first anniversary of the date that the Fund’s proxy statement was released to Shareholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting.

- Special meetings of shareholders may be called by the Board, and also upon the written request of the shareholders representing a minimum number of shares entitled to vote at such meeting as specified in each Fund’s Bylaws. A written request from shareholders entitled to call a special meeting must state the purpose of the meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on at the meeting. The business transacted at a special meeting is limited to the purposes stated in the notice of the meeting.

- A proponent representative must be either (i) a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of the proponent, as evidenced by an incumbency certificate delivered to the acting Secretary at the meeting, or (ii) authorized by a writing executed by the proponent to act as proxy for the proponent at the meeting, and delivered to the acting Secretary at the meeting.

Each Fund’s Bylaws contain other requirements for the conduct of shareholder meetings and are available in their entirety upon request to the Funds’ Secretary, c/o Delaware Management Company, 2005 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103.
