1 Ratios have been annualized and portfolio turnover and total return have not been annualized.

2 The average shares outstanding method has been applied for per share information.

3 Total investment return is calculated assuming a purchase of common stock on the opening of the first day and a sale on the closing of the last day of each period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for the purpose of this calculation, to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan. Generally, total investment return based on net asset value will be higher than total investment return based on market value in periods where there is an increase in the discount or decrease in the premium of the market value to the net asset value from the beginning to the end of such periods. Conversely, total investment return based on net asset value will be lower than total investment return based on market value in periods where there is a decrease in the discount or an increase in the premium of the market value to the net asset value from the beginning to the end of such periods.

4 Adjusted average net assets excludes debt outstanding.

Notes to financial statements

Delaware Investments ® Global Dividend and Income Fund, Inc.
May 31, 2011 (Unaudited)

Delaware Investments Global Dividend and Income Fund, Inc. (Fund) is organized as a Maryland corporation and is a diversified closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol DGF.

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek high current income. Capital appreciation is a secondary objective.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and are consistently followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation — Equity securities, except those traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the NYSE on the valuation date. Securities traded on the Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sales price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices will be used. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. Short-term debt securities are valued at market value. U.S. government and agency securities are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices. Other debt securities and credit default swap (CDS) contracts are valued by an independent pricing service or broker. To the extent current market prices are not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities. Investment company securities are valued at net asset value per share. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Generally, other securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Directors (Board). In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may frequently value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (international fair value pricing).

Federal Income Taxes — No provision for federal income taxes has been made as the Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (November 30, 2007–November 30, 2010), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements.

Distributions — The Fund has implemented a managed distribution policy. Under the policy, the Fund is managed with a goal of generating as much of the distribution as possible from net investment income and short-term capital gains. The balance of the distribution will then come from long-term capital gains to the extent permitted, and if necessary, a return of capital. Even though the Fund may realize current year capital gains, such gains may be offset, in whole or in part, by the Fund’s capital loss carryovers from prior years. For federal income tax purposes, the effect of such capital loss carryovers may be to convert (to the extent of such current year gains) what would otherwise be returns of capital into distributions taxable as ordinary income. This tax effect can occur during times of extended market volatility. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, this tax effect attributable to the Fund’s capital loss carryovers (the conversion of returns of capital into distributions taxable as ordinary income) will no longer apply to net capital losses of the Fund arising in Fund tax years beginning after November 30, 2011. The actual determination of the source of the Fund’s distributions can be made only at year-end. Shareholders should receive written notification regarding the actual components and tax treatments of all Fund distributions for the calendar year 2011 in early 2012.

Foreign Currency Transactions — Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the valuation date. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar daily. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund generally isolates that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in debt securities which are due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which are due to changes in market prices of debt securities. For foreign equity securities, these changes are included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Other — Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Investments ® Family of Funds are generally allocated amongst such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and some other expenses are paid monthly. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Discounts and premiums on non-convertible bonds are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are recorded as dividend income on the ex-dividend date, subject to reclassification upon notice of the character of such distributions by the issuer. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all non-rebatable tax withholdings. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and interest have been recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commission to the Fund in cash. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement accorded the order, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction. DMC, as defined below, and its affiliates have previously acted and may in the future act as an investment advisor to mutual funds or separate accounts affiliated with the administrator of the commission recapture program described above. In addition, affiliates of the administrator act as consultants in helping institutional clients choose investment advisors and may also participate in other types of business and provide other services in the investment management industry. There were no commission rebates for the period ended May 31, 2011.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended May 31, 2011.

The Fund may receive earnings credits from its transfer agent when positive cash balances are maintained, which may be used to offset transfer agent fees. There were no earnings credits for the six months ended May 31, 2011.

2. Investment Management, Administration Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates

In accordance with the terms of its Investment Management Agreement, the Fund pays Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust and the investment manager, an annual fee of 0.70% of the adjusted average daily net assets of the Fund. For purposes of the calculation of investment management fees, adjusted average weekly net assets excludes the line of credit liability.

Delaware Service Company, Inc. (DSC), an affiliate of DMC, provides fund accounting and financial administration oversight services to the Fund. For these services, the Fund pays DSC fees based on the aggregate daily net assets of the Delaware Investments ® Family of Funds at the following annual rate: 0.0050% of the first $30 billion; 0.0045% of the next $10 billion; 0.0040% of the next $10 billion; and 0.0025% of aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $50 billion. For purposes of the calculation of DSC fees, adjusted average daily net assets excludes the line of credit liability. The fees payable to DSC under the service agreement described above are allocated among all Funds in the Delaware Investments Family of Funds on a relative net asset value basis. For the six months ended May 31, 2011, the Fund was charged $1,187 for these services.

At May 31, 2011, the Fund had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

Investment management fee payable to DMC	$	29,270
Fees and other expenses payable to DSC		206
Other expenses payable to DMC and affiliates*		2,160

*DMC, as part of its administrative services, pays operating expenses on behalf of the Fund and is reimbursed on a periodic basis. Expenses include items such as printing of shareholder reports, fees for audit, legal and tax services, stock exchange fees, custodian fees and Directors’ fees.

As provided in the investment management agreement, the Fund bears the cost of certain legal and tax services, including internal legal and tax services provided to the Fund by DMC and/or its affiliates’ employees. For the six months ended May 31, 2011, the Fund was charged $6,253 for internal legal and tax services provided by DMC and/or its affiliates’ employees.

Directors’ fees include expenses accrued by the Fund for each Director’s retainer and meeting fees. Certain officers of DMC and DSC are officers and/or directors of the Fund. These officers and Directors are paid no compensation by the Fund.

3. Investments

For the six months ended May 31, 2011, the Fund made purchases of $15,227,377 and sales of $17,267,025 of investment securities other than short-term investments.

At May 31, 2011, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes has been estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. At May 31, 2011, the cost of investments was $49,494,431. At May 31, 2011, net unrealized appreciation was $4,580,073, of which $6,857,871 related to unrealized appreciation of investments and $2,277,798 related to unrealized depreciation of investments.

3. Investments (continued)

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. The Fund’s investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

Level 1 –	inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2 –	other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3 –	inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities)

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of May 31, 2011:

	Level 1		Level 2			Level 3		Total
Common Stock	$	15,867,668	$	11,671,306		$	1	$	27,538,975
Corporate Debt		—		12,962,420			108,337		13,070,757
Foreign Debt		—		5,948,542			—		5,948,542
Short-Term Investments		—		1,777,153			—		1,777,153
Securities Lending Collateral		—		5,434,349			—		5,434,349
Other		298,603		6,125			—		304,728
Total	$	16,166,271	$	37,799,895		$	108,338	$	54,074,504

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts	$	—	$	(66,154	)	$	—	$	(66,164	)

The following is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:

	Common			Corporate
	Stock			Debt			Other			Total
Balance as of 11/30/10		$	1	$	82,256		$	7,000		$	89,257
Purchases			—		170,000			—			170,000
Sales			—		(136,180	)		—			(136,180	)
Net realized gain			—		180			—			180
Transfer out of Level 3			—		—			(250,000	)		(250,000	)
Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation			—		(7,919	)		243,000			235,081
Balance as of 5/31/11		$	1	$	108,337		$	—		$	108,338
Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation
from investments still held as of 5/31/11		$	—	$	(7,914	)		243,000		$	235,086

During the six months ended May 31, 2011, the Fund had transfers out of Level 3 investments into Level 2 investments in the amount of $250,000, which was due to the Fund’s pricing vendor being able to supply matrix prices for investments that had been utilizing broker quoted prices. During the six months ended May 31, 2011, there were no transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments that had a material impact to the Fund. This does not include transfers between Level 1 investments and Level 2 investments due to the Fund utilizing international fair value pricing during the period.

4. Dividend and Distribution Information

Income and long-term capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Additionally, distributions from net gains on foreign currency transactions and net short-term gains on sales of investment securities are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the six months ended May 31, 2011 and the year ended November 30, 2010 was as follows:

	Six Months		Year
	Ended		Ended
	5/31/11*		11/30/10
Ordinary income	$	1,701,206	$	2,394,732
Return of capital		—		1,007,679
Total	$	1,701,206	$	3,402,411

*Tax information for the six months ended May 31, 2011 is an estimate and the tax character of dividends and distributions may be redesignated at fiscal year end.

5. Components of Net Assets on a Tax Basis

The components of net assets are estimated since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end. As of May 31, 2011, the estimated components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:

Shares of beneficial interest	$	42,347,308
Realized gains 12/1/10–5/31/11		1,101,187
Capital loss carryforwards as of 11/30/10		(8,984,730	)
Other temporary differences		(199,600	)
Unrealized appreciation of investments
and foreign currencies		4,586,738
Net assets	$	38,850,903

The differences between book basis and tax basis components of net assets are primarily attributable to tax deferral of losses on wash sales, contingent payment debt instruments, mark-to-market of forward foreign currency contracts, tax treatment of partnership income, straddles and tax treatment of market discount and premium on debt instruments.

For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to tax treatment of gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions, dividends and distributions, and market discount and premium on certain debt instruments. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. For the six months ended May 31, 2011 the Fund recorded an estimate of these differences since final tax characteristics cannot be determined until fiscal year end.

Distributions in excess of net investment income	$	877,932
Accumulated net realized loss		97,807
Paid-in capital		(975,739	)

For federal income tax purposes, capital loss carryforwards may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. Capital loss carryforwards remaining at November 30, 2010 will expire as follows: $4,555,961 expires in 2016 and $4,428,769 expires in 2017.

For the six months ended May 31, 2011, the Fund had capital gains of $1,101,187, which may reduce the capital loss carryforwards.

6. Capital Stock

Shares obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan are purchased by the Fund’s transfer agent, BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, in the open market. There were no shares issued under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan for the six months ended May 31, 2011 and year ended November 30, 2010.

On May 19, 2011, the Fund’s Board approved a tender offer for shares of the Fund’s common stock. The tender offer authorized the Fund to purchase up to 5% of its issued and outstanding shares at a price equal to the Fund’s net asset value at the close of business on the NYSE on July 5, 2011, the first business day following the expiration of the offer. The tender offer commenced on June 1, 2011 and expired on July 1, 2011. In connection with the tender offer, the Fund purchased 141,142 shares of capital stock at a total cost of approximately $1,088,205. The tender offer was undersubscribed.

The Fund did not repurchase shares under the Share Repurchase Program during the six months ended May 31, 2011 and year ended November 30, 2010.

7. Line of Credit

For the six months ended May 31, 2011, the Fund borrowed money pursuant to a $17,000,000 Credit Agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon) that expires on November 28, 2011. Depending on market conditions, the amount borrowed by the Fund pursuant to the Credit Agreement may be reduced or possibly increased in the future.

At May 31, 2011, the par value of loans outstanding was $10,725,000 at a variable interest rate of 1.35%. During the six months ended May 31, 2011, the average daily balance of loans outstanding was $10,725,000 at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 1.41%. Interest on borrowings is based on a variable short-term rate plus an applicable margin. The commitment fee is computed at a rate of 0.25% per annum on the unused balance. The loan is collateralized by the Fund’s portfolio.

8. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures that enable investors to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the date the security is delivered and paid for. The Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it already owns that are denominated in foreign currencies. The change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities, but does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign cross currency exchange contracts limit the risk of loss due to an unfavorable change in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency change favorably. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the value of their currency exchanged with the counterparty. The risk is generally mitigated by having a netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

Options Contracts — During the six months ended May 31, 2011, the Fund entered into options contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. The Fund may buy or write options contracts for any number of reasons, including without limitation: to manage the Fund’s exposure to changes in securities prices and foreign currencies; as an efficient means of adjusting the Fund’s overall exposure to certain markets; to earn income; to protect the value of portfolio securities; and as a cash management tool. The Fund may buy or write call or put options on securities, futures, swaps “swaptions”, financial indices, and foreign currencies. When the Fund buys an option, a premium is paid and an asset is recorded and adjusted on a daily basis to reflect the current market value of the options purchased. When the Fund writes an option, a premium is received and a liability is recorded and adjusted on a daily basis to reflect the current market value of the options written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is treated as realized gain or loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether the Fund has a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. When writing options, the Fund is subject to minimal counterparty risk because the counterparty is only obligated to pay premiums and does not bear the market risk of an unfavorable market change.

Transactions in options written during the six months ended May 31, 2011 for the Fund were as follows:

	Number of contracts			Premiums
Options outstanding at November 30, 2010		—		$	—
Options written		448			16,061
Options expired		(428	)		(13,645	)
Options terminated in closing purchase transactions		(20	)		(2,416	)
Options outstanding at May 31, 2011		—		$	—

The volume of derivative transactions varies throughout the period. Information about derivative transactions reflected on the financial statements is as of the date of this report, but may not be indicative of the type and volume of derivative activity for the six months ended May 31, 2011.

9. Securities Lending

The Fund, along with other funds in the Delaware Investments ® Family of Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with BNY Mellon. With respect to each loan, if on any business day the aggregate market value of securities collateral plus cash collateral held is less than the aggregate market value of the securities which are the subject of such loan, the borrower will be notified to provide additional collateral by the end of the following business day which, together with the collateral already held, will be not less than the applicable collateral requirements for such security loan. If the aggregate market value of securities collateral and cash collateral held with respect to a security loan exceeds the applicable collateral requirement, upon the request of the borrower BNY Mellon must return enough collateral to the borrower by the end of the following business day to reduce the value of the remaining collateral to the applicable collateral requirement for such security loan. As a result of the foregoing, the value of the collateral held with respect to a loaned security may be temporarily more or less than the value of the security on loan.

Cash collateral received is generally invested in the Delaware Investments Collateral Fund No. 1 (Collective Trust) established by BNY Mellon for the purpose of investment on behalf of funds managed by DMC that participate in BNY Mellon’s securities lending program. The Collective Trust may invest in U.S. government securities and high quality corporate debt, asset-backed and other money market securities and in repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities, provided that the Collective Trust will generally have a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 60 days or less. The Collective Trust seeks to maintain a net asset value per unit of $1.00, but there can be no assurance that it will always be able to do so. The Fund may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral in the Collective Trust or another collateral investment pool. This could occur if an investment in a collateral investment pool defaulted or if it were necessary to liquidate assets in the collateral investment pool to meet returns on outstanding security loans at a time when the collateral investment pool’s net asset value per unit was less than $1.00. Under those circumstances, the Fund may not receive an amount from the collateral investment pool that is equal in amount to the collateral the Fund would be required to return to the borrower of the securities and the Fund would be required to make up this shortfall. Effective April 20, 2009, BNY Mellon transferred the assets of the Fund’s previous collateral investment pool other than cash and assets with a maturity of one business day or less to the BNY Mellon SL DBT II Liquidating Fund (Liquidating Fund), effectively bifurcating the previous collateral investment pool. The Fund’s exposure to the Liquidating Fund is expected to decrease as the Liquidating Fund’s assets mature or are sold. In October 2008, BNY Mellon transferred certain distressed securities from the previous collateral investment pool into the Mellon GSL Reinvestment Trust II. The Fund can also accept U.S. government securities and letters of credit (non-cash collateral) in connection with securities loans. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the lending agent, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. In the event the borrower fails to return loaned securities and the collateral received is insufficient to cover the value of the loaned securities and provided such collateral shortfall is not the result of investment losses, the lending agent has agreed to pay the amount of the shortfall to the Fund, or at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. The Fund continues to record dividends or interest, as applicable, on the securities loaned and is subject to change in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Fund has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. With respect to security loans collateralized by non-cash collateral, the Fund receives loan premiums paid by the borrower. With respect to security loans collateralized by cash collateral, the earnings from the collateral investments are shared among the Fund, the security lending agent and the borrower. The Fund records security lending income net of allocations to the security lending agent and the borrower.

At May 31, 2011, the value of securities on loan was $5,321,019, for which the Fund received collateral, comprised of securities collateral valued at $28,521 and cash collateral of $5,509,664. At May 31, 2011, the value of invested collateral was $5,434,349. Investments purchased with cash collateral are presented on the statement of net asset under the caption “Securities Lending Collateral ” .

10. Credit and Market Risk

The Fund borrows through its line of credit for purposes of leveraging. Leveraging may result in higher degrees of volatility because the Fund’s net asset value could be subject to fluctuations in short-term interest rates and changes in market value of portfolio securities attributable to the leverage.

Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund.

The Fund invests in REITs and is subject to the risks associated with that industry. If the Fund holds real estate directly as a result of defaults or receives rental income directly from real estate holdings, its tax status as a regulated investment company may be jeopardized. There were no direct real estate holdings during the six months ended May 31, 2011. The Fund’s REIT holdings are also affected by interest rate changes, particularly if the REITs it holds use floating rate debt to finance their ongoing operations.

Notes to financial statements

Delaware Investments ® Global Dividend and Income Fund, Inc.

10. Credit and Market Risk (continued)

The Fund invests a portion of its assets in high yield fixed income securities, which carry ratings of BB or lower by Standard & Poor’s and Ba or lower by Moody’s Investor Services, or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Investments in these higher yielding securities are generally accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk than higher rated securities. Additionally, lower rated securities may be more susceptible to adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than investment grade securities.

The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Fund’s Board has delegated to DMC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Fund’s limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the 10% limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A and illiquid securities have been identified on the statement of net assets.

11. Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

12. Proposed Fund Merger

On May 19, 2011, the Fund’s Board of Trustees approved a proposal to merge the Fund into Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund (NYSE:DEX). Under the terms of the proposed reorganization, DEX would acquire substantially all of the Fund’s assets in exchange for newly issued shares of common beneficial interest of DEX. Those shares of DEX would then be distributed pro rata to the Fund’s shareholders, and the Fund would subsequently be liquidated and dissolved. Common shares of the Fund would be exchanged for common shares of DEX based on the relative net asset values of each Fund’s common shares. These transactions, which are expected to be tax-free, are subject to the approval of the Agreement and Plan of Acquisition by each Fund’s shareholders. Each Fund’s Board plans to submit the proposals described above to each Fund’s shareholders at a special meeting, currently expected to take place on September 21, 2011.

13. Subsequent Events

Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to May 31, 2011 that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Change in independent registered public accounting firm

Due to independence matters under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s auditor independence rules relating to the January 4, 2010 acquisition of Delaware Investments (including DMC and DSC) by Macquarie Group, Ernst & Young LLP (E&Y) has resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm for Delaware Investments ® Global Dividend and Income Fund, Inc. (the Fund) effective May 20, 2010. At a meeting held on May 20, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Fund, upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2010. During the fiscal years ended November 30, 2009 and 2008, E&Y’s audit reports on the financial statements of the Fund did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. In addition, there were no disagreements between the Fund and E&Y on accounting principles, financial statements disclosures or audit scope, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of E&Y, would have caused them to make reference to the disagreement in their reports. Neither the Fund nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with PwC at any time prior to their selection with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Fund’s financial statements.
