The Board of Directors also reaffirmed the continuation of the Gabelli Global Multimedia Trust's 5% Distribution Policy and intends to maintain the quarterly distribution level of $0.12 per share for 2006 with an adjusting distribution in the fourth quarter.

Under the Gabelli Global Multimedia Trust's payout policy, the Fund pays a minimum annual distribution of 5% of the average net asset value of the Fund. The Fund pays $0.12 per share in each of the first three quarters of the year and an adjusting distribution in the fourth quarter of a sufficient amount to pay 5% of the average net asset value of the Fund, as of the last day of the four preceding calendar quarters, or to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, whichever is greater. Each quarter, the Board of Directors reviews the amount of any potential distribution and the income, capital gain or paid-in capital available.

A portion of the distribution may be treated as long-term capital gain and qualified dividend income for individuals, each subject to the maximum Federal income tax rate, which is currently 15% in taxable accounts for individuals. If the Fund does not generate earnings from dividends, interest and net realized capital gains equal to or in excess of the aggregate distributions paid by the Fund for the year, then the amount distributed in excess of the Fund's investment income and net realized capital gains will be deemed a non-taxable return of capital. Long-term capital gains, qualified dividend income, ordinary income and non-taxable return of capital, if any, will be allocated on a pro-rata basis to all distributions to common shareholders for the year. Based on earnings to date, the distribution would include approximately 25% from net investment income, 32% from capital gains and 43% from non-taxable return of capital. The final determination of the source of all distributions in 2005 will be made after year-end. All shareholders with taxable accounts will receive written notification regarding the components and tax treatment for all 2005 distributions in early 2006 via Form 1099-DIV.
