NEW YORK, March 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- This press release
provides shareholders of Cohen & Steers Global Income Builder,
Inc. (NYSE: INB) (the "Fund") with information regarding the
sources of the distribution to be paid on March 29, 2019 and cumulative distributions paid
fiscal year-to-date.
In December 2018, the Fund
implemented a managed distribution policy in accordance with
exemptive relief issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The managed distribution policy seeks to deliver the Fund's
long-term total return potential through regular monthly
distributions declared at a fixed rate per common share. The policy
gives the Fund greater flexibility to realize long-term capital
gains throughout the year and to distribute those gains on a
regular monthly basis to shareholders. The Board of Directors of
the Fund may amend, terminate or suspend the managed distribution
policy at any time, which could have an adverse effect on the
market price of the Fund's shares.
The Fund's monthly distributions may include long-term capital
gains, short-term capital gains, net investment income and/or
return of capital for federal income tax purposes. Return of
capital includes distributions paid by the Fund in excess of its
net investment income and net realized capital gains and such
excess is distributed from the Fund's assets. A return of capital
is not taxable; rather, it reduces a shareholder's tax basis in his
or her shares of the Fund. The amount of monthly distributions may
vary depending on a number of factors, including changes in
portfolio and market conditions.
At the time of each monthly distribution, information will be
posted to cohenandsteers.com and mailed to shareholders in a
concurrent notice. However, this information may change at the end
of the year because the final tax characteristics of the Fund's
distributions cannot be determined with certainty until after the
end of the calendar year. Final tax characteristics of all of the
Fund's distributions will be provided on Form 1099-DIV, which is
mailed after the close of the calendar year.
The following table sets forth the estimated amounts of the
current distribution and the cumulative distributions paid this
fiscal year-to-date from the sources indicated. All amounts are
expressed per common share.

You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's
investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from
the terms of the Fund's managed distribution policy. The Fund
estimates that it has distributed more than its income and capital
gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of
capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or
all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you.
A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the
Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with
'yield' or 'income'. The amounts and sources of distributions
reported in this Notice are only estimates, are likely to change
over time, and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes.
The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for accounting and
tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment
experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be
subject to changes based on tax regulations. The amounts and
sources of distributions year-to-date may be subject to additional
adjustments.
*THE FUND WILL SEND YOU A FORM 1099-DIV FOR THE
CALENDAR YEAR THAT WILL TELL YOU HOW TO REPORT THESE DISTRIBUTIONS
FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES
The Fund's Year-to-date Cumulative Total Return for fiscal year
2019 (January 1, 2019 through
February 28, 2019) is set forth
below. Shareholders should take note of the relationship between
the Year-to-date Cumulative Total Return with the Fund's Cumulative
Distribution Rate for 2019. In addition, the Fund's Average Annual
Total Return for the five-year period ending February 28, 2019 is set forth below.
Shareholders should note the relationship between the Average
Annual Total Return with the Fund's Current Annualized Distribution
Rate for 2019. The performance and distribution rate information
disclosed in the table is based on the Fund's net asset value per
share (NAV). The Fund's NAV is calculated as the total market value
of all the securities and other assets held by the Fund minus the
total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares
outstanding. While NAV performance may be indicative of the Fund's
investment performance, it does not measure the value of a
shareholder's individual investment in the Fund. The value of a
shareholder's investment in the Fund is determined by the Fund's
market price, which is based on the supply and demand for the
Fund's shares in the open market.
