Business Wire
LMP Real Estate Income Fund Inc. (NYSE: RIT) (the “Fund”) today
announced that the Fund’s Board of Directors intends to pursue a
conversion of the Fund from a closed-end fund to an open-end fund
(the “Conversion”), subject to satisfaction of legal and regulatory
requirements. It is anticipated that the conversion will be
effected through a merger with a newly formed open-end fund.
Conversion of the Fund will require approval of the Fund’s Board of
Directors and then stockholder approval. If the Conversion is
approved by stockholders and consummated, stockholders of the Fund
would become stockholders of a new open-end mutual fund and would
have the ability to redeem their shares at net asset value, subject
to certain conditions including the imposition of a redemption fee
of 1% for one year after the Conversion. The open-end fund is
expected to have an investment objective of total return rather
than high current income and to invest in a broader universe of
real estate and real estate-related companies.
The Fund also announced that Bulldog Investors, LLC (“Bulldog”)
and the Fund have entered into a Settlement Agreement (the
“Agreement”) pursuant to which Bulldog has agreed vote in favor of
(i) the Conversion, (ii) any routine management proposal, including
a proposal relating to the election of directors or selection of
auditors and (iii) the Board’s recommendation on any proposal
submitted by a stockholder.
The summary of the Agreement included in this press release is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the
Agreement, which will be filed by the Fund with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and will be available for free on
the SEC’s website, http://www.sec.gov.
In connection with the proposal to open-end the fund, if
approved by the Board, the Fund will file a proxy statement with
the SEC. INVESTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS ARE ADVISED TO READ THE
PROXY STATEMENT WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE BECAUSE IT WILL CONTAIN
IMPORTANT INFORMATION. When filed with the SEC, the proxy

Stockholders can also obtain copies of these documents, when
available, for free by calling the Fund at 1-888-777-0102.
