Business Wire
The Board of Trustees of The Gabelli Global Gold, Natural Resources
& Income Trust (Amex:GGN) declared an additional cash
distribution of $0.25 per share payable on January 7, 2008 to
common shareholders of record on December 31, 2007. Consistent with
the Fund�s distribution policy, this $0.25 per share distribution
will satisfy the minimum distribution requirement for federal
excise tax purposes and eliminate any federal income tax liability.
This distribution will be includable in 2007 income for
shareholders subject to income tax. This raises the total
distributions for the year to $1.93 per share. 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. Long-term capital gains, qualified dividend
income, ordinary income, and paid-in capital, if any, will be
allocated on a pro-rata basis to all distributions to common
shareholders for the year. Based on the accounting records of the
Fund as of December 24, 2007, the date of this press release, each
of the distributions paid in 2007 would include approximately 20%
from net investment income and 80% from net capital gains. The
estimated components of each distribution are provided to
shareholders of record in a notice accompanying the distribution
and are available on our website (www.gabelli.com). The final
determination of the sources of all distributions in 2007 will be
made after year end and can vary from the monthly estimates. All
shareholders with taxable accounts will receive written
notification regarding the components and tax treatment for all
2007 distributions in early 2008 via Form 1099-DIV. The Gabelli
Global Gold, Natural Resources & Income Trust is a
non-diversified, closed-end management investment company with $626
