An up-and-down year for investors

Global financial markets were highly volatile during the Fund’s fiscal year, but especially in the period’s second half, with much of the turmoil coming from the mounting debt crisis in Europe.

Greece remained at the center of the crisis, though other troubled countries shifted to the forefront of investors’ minds. Italy emerged as the newest and most serious trouble spot — given the nation’s role as the euro zone’s third-largest economy, coupled with its very high debt burden and low growth rate. Investors began to worry that the region’s political and monetary institutions were not up to the challenge of repairing the damage. Although these serious issues remained unresolved at the close of the Fund’s fiscal year in late November 2011, financial markets did respond favorably to several potentially productive steps taken by policy makers.

Global financial markets were also affected by concerns about the health of the U.S. economy. In the first half of the Fund’s fiscal year, evidence pointed to sluggish but steady economic growth. Against this backdrop, the S&P 500® Index, a measure of the broad stock market in the United States, continued to trend upward. Beginning in late July 2011, however, market conditions began to deteriorate, due in part to skepticism about whether U.S. political leaders would successfully handle the
nation’s own debt-related issues. In early August 2011, credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s demonstrated this uncertainty by downgrading the U.S. sovereign credit rating for the first time in history. Although corporate earnings remained healthy, a weak patch of economic data combined with mounting concerns about the budget caused the S&P 500 Index to fall significantly between July 22 and Oct. 3, 2011, when it reached its lowest level in more than a year.

In the final months of the Fund’s fiscal year, however, an increasing amount of data suggested an improving U.S. economy. Unemployment, although still high, drifted downward, and increased confidence in the direction of interest rates was another positive indicator for investors. The S&P 500 Index finished the Fund’s fiscal year on a strong upswing with an overall gain of 7.84% for the 12-month period.

The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index), a broad measure of equity market performance around the world, followed a similar trajectory but significantly lagged the S&P 500 Index, declining 0.36% (net) over the same 12-month period. Emerging market equities fared worse, as investors appeared to remain cautious about risk and to question the sustainability of China’s economic growth.

Concern about credit risk weighed on the performance of other asset classes in which the Fund invests. High yield corporate bonds, for example, which made up roughly one-third of Fund assets at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year, found a difficult environment during those periods when risk aversion appeared greatest, though they also benefited considerably during times of positive investor sentiment. During the Fund’s fiscal year, the high yield bond market generated a modest gain of 3.63%, as

measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Constrained Index. Investment grade bonds, while not immune to credit-quality concerns, fared better than their lower-rated counterparts, as investors preferred higher-quality, lower-risk investments during much of the Fund’s fiscal year.

Credit worries posed a challenge for the securities of global property companies as well, given their dependence on affordable and available credit to help finance their operations and development activity. Emerging market real estate securities encountered difficulties as monetary policy makers in these fast-growing regions favored raising interest rates. The low-interest-rate environment of the U.S., in contrast, provided a better backdrop for real estate investment trusts (REITs). Overall, global real estate securities declined 0.81% during the Fund’s fiscal year, as measured by the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index.

Shifting away from international securities, toward high yield

The Fund’s primary objective is to seek current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. In managing the Fund, we pursue these goals by investing broadly in a range of income-generating securities from around the globe. These include “core” fixed income holdings (such as Treasury and agency securities), as well as investment grade and high yield corporate bonds, convertible bonds, REITs, large-cap value stocks, convertible preferred stocks, international value stocks, emerging market equities, emerging market debt securities, and international currencies.

One notable change that we made to the Fund during its fiscal year was to generally reduce its exposure to international securities because of our mounting concerns about market and economic conditions in Europe and Asia. Accordingly, the Fund’s allocation to international equities dropped from about 19% at the beginning of the Fund’s fiscal year to roughly 12% at Nov. 30, 2011.

We boosted the Fund’s allocation to high yield bonds, as we believed a number of companies in this asset class held up relatively well despite daunting market conditions, and the Fund maintained a significant allocation throughout the entire fiscal year. This positioning aided the Fund’s return during the first several months of its fiscal year, as strong demand for yield gave the market a steady bid for high yield bonds. Our emphasis on higher-quality (less distressed) securities, however, slightly muted this positive effect. During the final months of the Fund’s fiscal year, this same allocation to high yield bonds hindered the Fund’s relative performance somewhat, as investors seemed to largely flee from risky securities. The relative higher quality of the Fund’s allocation to this asset class, however, helped diminish the negative effect of these holdings.

During the fiscal year we also increased the Fund’s exposure to U.S. large-cap value securities, which we believed offered stronger performance potential and increased defensiveness amid a difficult environment. As the fiscal year drew to a close, we believed valuations across U.S. equities were generally higher than they should be. Anticipating ongoing slow growth, we maintained the Fund’s defensive positioning among large-cap value, geared to emphasize less-cyclical stocks. While circumstances can change quickly, we expect to maintain this less cyclical positioning until we see more lasting improvements in market and economic conditions.

Areas of potential opportunity

Given recent market shifts, we believe that U.S. REITs are among market segments that have become attractively priced. Convertible securities, offering yields in the neighborhood of 4% at the end of the Fund’s fiscal year, also strike us as relatively inexpensive (data: Barclays Capital). High yield bonds remain vulnerable to credit risk, though high yield issuers’ balance sheets are generally stronger now than before the financial crisis, and we believe they are less vulnerable to serious credit-related challenges than they were in the past.

Looking elsewhere, we believe the decision of monetary policy makers in Asia to raise interest rates may provide a compelling reason to look to the region as a source of increased income.

Against this backdrop, we continue to keep a close eye on market conditions and the relative value between asset types. In keeping with the Fund’s investment objective, we will continue to seek to provide current income, diversified across multiple global asset classes.

Performance summary

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund

The performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Please obtain the performance data for the most recent month end by calling 800 523-1918.

Fund performance
Average annual total returns
through November 30, 2011                    1 year                     3 years                     Lifetime       
At market price (inception date June 29, 2007) -2.01% +36.69% -0.70%
At net asset value (inception date June 29, 2007) +1.77% +22.36% +0.17%

Instances of high double-digit returns are unusual, cannot be sustained, and were primarily achieved during favorable market conditions.

Diversification may not protect against market risk.

Fixed income securities and bond funds can lose value, and investors can lose principal, as interest rates rise. They also may be affected by economic conditions that hinder an issuer’s ability to make interest and principal payments on its debt.

The Fund may also be subject to prepayment risk, the risk that the principal of a fixed income security that is held by Fund may be prepaid prior to maturity, potentially forcing the Fund to reinvest that money at a lower interest rate.

High yielding, noninvestment grade bonds (junk bonds) involve higher risk than investment grade bonds.

The Fund may invest in derivatives, which may involve additional expenses and are subject to risk, including the risk that an underlying security or securities index moves in the opposite direction from what the portfolio manager anticipated. A derivative transaction depends upon the counterparties’ ability to fulfill their contractual obligations.

International investments entail risks not ordinarily associated with U.S. investments including fluctuation in currency values, differences in accounting principles, or economic or political instability in other nations. Investing in emerging markets can be riskier than investing in established foreign markets due to increased volatility and lower trading volume.

If and when the Fund invests in forward foreign currency contracts or uses other investments to hedge against currency risks, the Fund will be subject to special risks, including counterparty risk.

The Fund borrows through a 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 leverage.

Narrowly focused investments may exhibit higher volatility than investments in multiple industry sectors.

REIT investments are subject to many of the risks associated with direct real estate ownership, including changes in economic conditions, credit risk, and interest rate fluctuations.

The “Fund performance” table and the “Performance of a $10,000 investment” graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes the shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares.

Returns reflect the reinvestment of all distributions. 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 policy. Shares of the Fund were initially offered with a sales charge of 4.50%. Performance since inception does not include the sales charge or any other brokerage commission for purchases made since inception. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

The “Performance of a $10,000 investment” graph assumes $10,000 invested in the Fund on June 29, 2007, and includes the reinvestment of all distributions at market value. The graph assumes $10,000 in the Lipper Closed-end Global Funds Average at market price and at NAV. Performance of the Fund and the Lipper class at market value is based on market performance during the period. Performance of the Fund and Lipper class at NAV is based on the fluctuations in NAV during the period. Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund was initially offered with a sales charge of 4.50%. Performance shown in both graphs above does not include fees, the initial sales charge, or any brokerage commissions for purchases. Investments in the Fund are not available at NAV.

The Lipper Closed-end Global Funds Average represents the average return of closed-end funds that invest at least 25% of their portfolios in securities traded outside of the United States and that may own U.S. securities as well (source: Lipper).

The BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Constrained Index, formerly the Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index, tracks the performance of U.S. dollar–denominated high yield corporate debt publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market, but caps individual issuer exposure at 2% of the benchmark.

The FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index tracks the performance of listed real estate companies and real estate investment trusts (REITs) worldwide, based in U.S. dollars.

Market price is the price an investor would pay for shares of the Fund on the secondary market. NAV is the total value of one fund share, generally equal to a fund’s net assets divided by the number of shares outstanding.

The percentage of net assets exceeds 100% because the Fund utilizes a line of credit with The Bank of New York Mellon, as described in Note 8 in “Notes to financial statements.” The Fund utilizes leveraging techniques in an attempt to obtain a higher return for the Fund. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives through the use of such techniques.

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.

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund
November 30, 2011

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund (Fund) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust 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 DEX.

The primary investment objective of the Fund is to seek current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation.

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, which approximates fair value. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are generally 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, which approximates fair value. Other debt securities and credit default swap (CDS) contracts are valued based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker and reviewed by management. 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. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available. Exchange-traded options are valued at the last reported sale price or, if no sales are reported, at the mean between the bid and ask prices, which approximates fair value. 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 Trustees (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, 2008–November 30, 2011), 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.

Repurchase Agreements — The Fund may purchase certain U.S. government securities subject to the counterparty’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price. The counterparty will be required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the collateral subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book-entry system with the Fund’s custodian or a third party sub-custodian. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. All open repurchase agreements as of the date of this report were entered into on November 30, 2011.

To Be Announced Trades — The Fund may contract to purchase securities for a fixed price at a transaction date beyond the customary settlement period (e.g., “when issued,” “delayed delivery,” “forward commitment,” or “TBA transactions”) consistent with the Fund’s ability to manage its investment portfolio and meet redemption requests. These transactions involve a commitment by the Fund to purchase securities for a predetermined price or yield with payment and delivery taking place more than three days in the future, or after a period longer than the customary settlement period for that type of security. No interest will be earned by the Fund on such purchases until the securities are delivered; however, the market value may change prior to delivery. There were no TBA transactions at the end of the year.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Mortgage Dollar Rolls — The Fund may enter into mortgage “dollar rolls” in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon, and maturity) securities on a specified future date. Any difference between the sale price and the purchase price is netted against the interest income foregone on the securities to arrive at an implied borrowing (reverse repurchase) rate. Alternatively, the sale and purchase transactions which constitute the dollar roll can be executed at the same price, with the Fund being paid a fee as consideration for entering into the commitment to purchase. Dollar rolls may be renewed prior to cash settlement and initially may involve only a firm commitment agreement by the Fund to buy a security. The Fund accounts for mortgage-dollar-roll transactions as purchases and sales. These transactions will increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate.

Foreign Currency Transactions — Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the valuation date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. 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 is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is 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 fair value of investments, 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 debt securities are amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities. Realized gains (losses) on paydowns of asset- and mortgage-backed securities are classified as interest income. 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.

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 year ended November 30, 2011.

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

In accordance with the terms of its Investment Management Agreement, effective October 24, 2011, the Fund pays Delaware Management Company (DMC), a series of Delaware Management Business Trust and the investment manager, an annual fee of 0.95% of the adjusted average daily net assets of the Fund. Prior to October 24, 2011, the Fund paid an annual fee of 1.00% of the adjusted average daily net assets of the Fund. For purposes of the calculation of investment management fees, adjusted average daily 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 adjusted 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 year ended November 30, 2011, the Fund was charged $10,310 for these services.

At November 30, 2011, the Fund had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows:

Investment management fees payable to DMC       $ 179,444
Fees and other expenses payable to DSC   933
Other expenses payable to DMC and affiliates* 138,776

*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 Trustees’ fees.

28



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 year ended November 30, 2011, the Fund was charged $70,730 for internal legal and tax services provided by DMC and/or its affiliates’ employees.

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

3. Investments

For the year ended November 30, 2011, the Fund made purchases of $135,670,050 and sales of $147,770,847 of investment securities other than U.S. government securities and short-term investments. For the year ended November 30, 2011, the Fund made purchases of $5,567,473, and sales of $5,573,337 of long-term U.S. government securities.

At November 30, 2011, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $248,876,919. At November 30, 2011, net unrealized depreciation was $9,000,659, of which $12,549,318 related to unrealized appreciation of investments and $21,549,977 related to unrealized depreciation of investments.

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 November 30, 2011:

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Agency, Asset- & Mortgage-Backed Securities $       $ 4,721,465       $       $ 4,721,465
Common Stock 60,749,977 38,003,108 1 98,753,086

*Securities were received as part of the Fund Merger with Delaware Investments® Global Dividend and Income Fund, Inc. on the close of business on October 21, 2011. See Note 7.

During the year ended November 30, 2011, the Fund made transfers out of Level 3 investments into Level 2 investments in the amount of $24,955. The transfer was due to the Fund’s pricing vendor being able to supply a matrix price for an investment that had been utilizing broker quoted price.

During the year ended November 30, 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 year.

The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting 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 years ended November 30, 2011 and 2010 was as follows:

Year Ended
11/30/11 11/30/10
Ordinary income $ 9,958,352       $ 11,913,695
Return of capital 6,379,270   4,052,200
Total $ 16,337,622 $ 15,965,895

5. Components of Net Assets on a Tax Basis

As of November 30, 2011, the components of net assets on a tax basis were as follows:

Shares of beneficial interest $ 248,106,522
Capital loss carryforwards*   (59,635,497 )
Other temporary differences (1,441 )
Unrealized depreciation (9,055,224 )
Net assets $ 179,414,360

*This amount includes $7,927,235 of capital loss carryforward from the Fund’s merger with Delaware Investments Global Dividend and Income Fund, Inc. on the close of business on October 21, 2011. See Note 7.

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

30



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, contingent payment debt instruments, CDS contracts, foreign capital gain taxes, market discount and premium on certain debt instruments and paydowns of asset- and mortgage-backed securities. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. For the year ended November 30, 2011, the Fund recorded the following reclassifications:

Distributions in excess of net investment income $ 1,920,672
Accumulated net realized gain   (8,303,985 )
Paid-in capital 6,383,313

For federal income tax purposes, capital loss carryforwards may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. $1,850,392 was utilized in 2011. Capital loss carryforwards remaining at November 30, 2011 will expire as follows: $3,377,704 expires in 2015, $34,009,571 expires in 2016 and $22,248,222 expires in 2017.

On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. Under the Act, the Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under previous regulation.

6. Capital Stock

Shares obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan are purchased by the Fund’s transfer agent, Computershare Shareowner Services LLC (formerly BNY Mellon Shareowner Services), in the open market if the shares of the Fund are trading at a discount to the Fund’s net asset value on the dividend payment date. However, the dividend reinvestment plan provides that if the shares of the Fund are trading at a premium to the Fund’s net asset value on the dividend payment date, the Fund will issue shares to shareholders of record at net asset value. During the year ended November 30, 2011, the Fund issued 52,357 shares for $675,989 under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan because the Fund was trading at a premium to net asset value on the respective dividend payment dates. During the year ended November 30, 2010, the Fund issued 83,412 shares for $1,020,065 under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan because the Fund was trading at a premium to net asset value on the respective dividend payment dates.

7. Fund Merger

As of the close of business on October 21, 2011, the Fund acquired all of the assets of the Delaware Investments® Global Dividend and Income Fund, Inc. (Acquired Fund), a closed-end investment management company, in exchange for the shares of the Fund (Acquiring Fund) pursuant to a Plan and Agreement of Reorganization (Reorganization). The shareholders of the Acquired Fund received shares of the Acquiring Fund equal to the aggregate net asset value of shares in the Acquired Fund prior to the Reorganization, as shown in the following table:

Acquiring Fund       Acquired Fund
Shares   Shares       Value
2,725,926 4,789,889 $ 31,394,740

The Reorganization was treated as a non-taxable event and, accordingly, the Acquired Fund’s basis in securities acquired reflected historical cost basis as of the date of transfer. The net assets, net unrealized depreciation, distributions in excess of net investment income, and accumulated net realized loss of the Acquired Fund as of the close of business on October 21, 2011, were as follows:

Net assets $ 31,394,740
Distributions in excess of net investment income 150,321
Accumulated net realized loss   (8,258,081 )
Net unrealized depreciation (405,624 )

The net assets of the Acquiring Fund before the acquisition were $150,504,258. The net assets of the Acquiring Fund immediately following the acquisition were $181,898,998.

Assuming that the acquisition had been completed on December 1, 2010, the beginning of the Acquiring Fund’s reporting period, the Acquiring Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the year ended November 30, 2011, are as follows:

Net investment income $ 8,721,735
Net realized gain on investments and foreign currencies 2,940,655
Change in unrealized depreciation and foreign currencies   (7,495,108 )
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations 4,167,282

8. Line of Credit

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Acquired Fund that have been included in the Fund’s statement of operations since the close of business on October 21, 2011.

For the year ended November 30, 2011, the Fund borrowed money pursuant to a $50,000,000 Credit Agreement with BNY Mellon that expires on June 29, 2012 (June Credit Agreement). Depending on market conditions, the amount borrowed by the Fund pursuant to the June Credit Agreement may be reduced or possibly increased in the future.

At November 30, 2011, the par value of loans outstanding under the June Credit Agreement was $40,000,000, at a variable interest rate of 1.8125%. During the year ended November 30, 2011, the average daily balance of loans outstanding was $40,000,000 at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 1.5609%. 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.

In addition to the agreement above, effective as of the close of business on October 21, 2011, the Fund borrowed money pursuant to a $17,000,000 Credit Agreement with BNY Mellon that expires on November 28, 2012 (November Credit Agreement). Depending on market conditions, the amount borrowed by the Fund pursuant to the November Credit Agreement may be reduced or possibly increased in the future.

At November 30, 2011, the par value of loans outstanding under the November Credit Agreement was $10,725,000 at a variable interest rate of 1.33%. During the year ended November 30, 2011, the average daily balance of loans outstanding was $10,725,000 at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 1.3852%. 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.

9. Derivatives

U.S. GAAP requires 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 enters 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 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 its 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 year ended November 30, 2011, the Fund entered into written call option contracts. In the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives, 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; to earn income; as an efficient means of adjusting the Fund’s overall exposure to certain markets; 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.

Swap Contracts — The Fund enters into CDS contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may enter into CDS contracts in order to hedge against a credit event, to enhance total return or to gain exposure to certain securities or markets.

Credit Default Swaps. A CDS contract is a risk-transfer instrument through which one party (purchaser of protection) transfers to another party (seller of protection) the financial risk of a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement), as it relates to a particular reference security or basket of securities (such as an index). In exchange for the protection offered by the seller of protection, the purchaser of protection agrees to pay the seller of protection a periodic amount at a stated rate that is applied to the notional amount of the CDS contract. In addition, an upfront payment may be made or received by the Fund in connection with an unwinding or assignment of a CDS contract. Upon the occurrence of a credit event, the seller of protection would pay the par (or other agreed-upon) value of the reference security (or basket of securities) to the counterparty. Credit events generally include, among others, bankruptcy, failure to pay, and obligation default.

During the year ended November 30, 2011, the Fund entered into CDS contracts as a purchaser and seller of protection. Periodic payments (receipts) on such contracts are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upon payment (receipt), such amounts are recorded as realized losses (gains) on swap contracts. Upfront payments made or received in connection with CDS contracts are amortized over the expected life of the CDS contracts as unrealized losses (gains) on swap contracts. The change in value of CDS contracts is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation daily. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon a credit event (as defined in the CDS agreement) or the maturity or termination of the agreement. At November 30, 2011, the net unrealized appreciation of CDS contracts was $1,352. If a credit event had occurred for all open swap transactions where collateral posting was required as of November 30, 2011, the swaps’ credit-risk-related contingent features would have been triggered and the Fund would have received EUR 160,000 less the value of the contracts’ related reference obligations.

As disclosed in the footnotes to the statement of net assets, at November 30, 2011, the notional value of the protection sold was $15,000, which reflects the maximum potential amount the Fund would have been required to make as a seller of credit protection if a credit event had occurred. The quoted market prices and resulting market values for credit default swap agreements on securities and credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative if the swap agreement has been closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the reference entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. At November 30, 2011, the net unrealized appreciation of the protection sold was $203.

CDS contracts may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly. CDS contracts are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk, either as the seller of protection or the buyer of protection, is the fair value of the contract. This risk is 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.

Swaps Generally. Because there are generally no organized markets for swap contracts, the value of open swaps may differ from that which would be realized in the event the Fund terminated its position in the agreement. Risks of entering into these contracts include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contracts. This type of risk is generally limited to the amount of favorable movement in the value of the underlying security, instrument or basket of instruments, if any, at the day of default. Risks also arise from potential losses from adverse market movements and such losses could exceed the unrealized amounts shown on the statement of net assets.

10. 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. At the time a security is loaned, the borrower must post collateral equal to the required percentage of the market value of the loaned security, including any accrued interest. The required percentage is: (i) 102% with respect to U.S. securities and foreign securities that are denominated and payable in U.S. dollars; and (ii) 105% with respect to foreign securities. 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 initial 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 initial collateral requirement, upon 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 initial 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.

34



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. 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 changes 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.

The Collective Trust used for the investment of cash collateral received from borrowers of securities 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 for this shortfall.

At November 30, 2011, the value of securities on loan was $14,066,858, for which the Fund received collateral, comprised of non-cash collateral valued at $413,720 and cash collateral of $13,859,514. At November 30, 2011, the value of invested collateral was $13,467,089. Investments purchased with cash collateral are presented on the statement of net assets under the caption “Securities Lending Collateral.”

11. 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 invests 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 a portion of its assets in high yield fixed income securities, which are securities rated BB or lower by Standard & Poor’s and Ba or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, 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 invests in fixed income securities whose value is derived from an underlying pool of mortgages or consumer loans. The value of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market’s perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates. Investors receive principal and interest payments as the underlying mortgages and consumer loans are paid back. Some of these securities are collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). CMOs are debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies or by financial institutions and other mortgage lenders, which are collateralized by a pool of mortgages held under an indenture. Prepayment of mortgages may shorten the stated maturity of the obligations and can result in a loss of premium, if any has been paid. Certain of these securities may be stripped (securities which provide only the principal or interest feature of the underlying security). The yield to maturity on an interest-only CMO is extremely sensitive not only to changes in prevailing interest rates, but also to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets. A rapid rate of principal payments may have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Fund may fail to fully recoup its initial investment in these securities even if the securities are rated in the highest rating categories.

Notes to financial statements

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund


11. Credit and Market Risk (continued)

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 year ended November 30, 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.

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 Fund’s 10% limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A and illiquid securities have been identified on the statement of net assets.

12. 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.

13. Subsequent Events

Effective January 3, 2012, Computershare Shareowner Services LLC acquired BNY Mellon Shareowner Services’ transfer agency business that serviced the Fund (the “Acquisition”). Other than the Acquisition, Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred subsequent to November 30, 2011 that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

14. Tax Information (Unaudited)

Please note that the information in the preceding chart is for book purposes only. Shareholders should be aware that the tax treatment of distributions may differ from their book treatment. The tax treatment of distributions will be set forth in a Form 1099-DIV.

Dividend reinvestment plan

The Fund offers an automatic dividend reinvestment plan. The following is a restatement of the plan description in the Fund’s prospectus:

Unless the registered owner of the Fund’s common shares elects to receive cash by contacting the Plan Agent (as defined below), all dividends declared for your common shares of the Fund will be automatically reinvested by Computershare Shareowner Services LLC (formerly BNY Mellon Shareowner Services) (the “Plan Agent”), agent for shareholders in administering the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), in additional common shares of the Fund. If a registered owner of common shares elects not to participate in the Plan, you will receive all dividends in cash paid by check mailed directly to you (or, if the shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to such nominee) by the Plan Agent, as dividend disbursing agent. You may elect not to participate in the Plan and to receive all dividends in cash by sending written instructions or by contacting the Plan Agent, as dividend disbursing agent, at the address set forth below. Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by contacting the Plan Agent before the dividend record date; otherwise such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared dividend or other distribution. Some brokers may automatically elect to receive cash on your behalf and may re-invest that cash in additional common shares of the Fund for you. If you wish for all dividends declared on your common shares of the Fund to be automatically reinvested pursuant to the Plan, please contact your broker.

The Plan Agent will open an account for each common shareholder under the Plan in the same name in which such shareholder’s common shares are registered. Whenever the Fund declares a dividend or other distribution (together, a “dividend”) payable in cash, non-participants in the Plan will receive cash and participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in common shares. The common shares will be acquired by the Plan Agent for the participants’ accounts, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized common shares from the Fund (“newly issued common shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding common shares on the open market (“open-market purchases”) on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere.

Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund

Dividend reinvestment plan (continued)

If, on the payment date for any dividend, the market price per common share plus estimated brokerage commissions is greater than the net asset value per common share (such condition being referred to herein as “market premium”), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in newly issued common shares, including fractions, on behalf of the participants. The number of newly issued common shares to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the net asset value per common share on the payment date; provided that, if the net asset value per common share is less than 95% of the market price per common share on the payment date, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price per common share on the payment date.

If, on the payment date for any dividend, the net asset value per common share is greater than the market value per common share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as “market discount”), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in common shares acquired on behalf of the participants in open-market purchases.

In the event of a market discount on the payment date for any dividend, the Plan Agent will have until the last business day before the next date on which the common shares trade on an “ex-dividend” basis or 30 days after the payment date for such dividend, whichever is sooner (the “last purchase date”), to invest the dividend amount in common shares acquired in open-market purchases. It is contemplated that the Fund will pay monthly dividends. Therefore, the period during which open-market purchases can be made will exist only from the payment date of each dividend through the date before the next “ex-dividend” date. If, before the Plan Agent has completed its open-market purchases, the market price of a common share exceeds the net asset value per common share, the average per common share purchase price paid by the Plan Agent may exceed the net asset value of the common shares, resulting in the acquisition of fewer common shares than if the dividend had been paid in newly issued common shares on the dividend payment date. Because of the foregoing difficulty with respect to open market purchases, if the Plan Agent is unable to invest the full dividend amount in open market purchases during the purchase period or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Plan Agent may cease making open-market purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the dividend amount in newly issued common shares at the net asset value per common share at the close of business on the last purchase date; provided that, if the net asset value per common share is less than 95% of the market price per common share on the payment date, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price per common share on the payment date.

The Plan Agent maintains all shareholders’ accounts in the Plan and furnishes written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information needed by shareholders for tax records. Common shares in the account of each Plan participant will be held by the Plan Agent on behalf of the Plan participant, and each shareholder proxy will include those shares purchased or received pursuant to the Plan. The Plan Agent will forward all proxy solicitation materials to participants and vote proxies for shares held under the Plan in accordance with the instructions of the participants.

In the case of shareholders such as banks, brokers or nominees which hold shares for others who are the beneficial owners, the Plan Agent will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of common shares certified from time to time by the record shareholder’s name and held for the account of beneficial owners who participate in the Plan.

There will be no brokerage charges with respect to common shares issued directly by the Fund. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred in connection with open-market purchases. The automatic reinvestment of dividends will not relieve participants of any U.S. federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such dividends. Participants that request a sale of shares through the Plan Agent are subject to a $15.00 sales fee and a brokerage commission of $.12 per share sold.

The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however, the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants.

All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent at Computershare Shareowner Services LLC, P.O. Box 358035, Pittsburgh, PA 15252-8035; telephone: 800-851-9677.

Board consideration of Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund investment advisory agreement

At a meeting held on August 16–17, 2011 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Board of Directors (the “Board”), including a majority of disinterested or independent Directors, approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement for the Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund (the “Fund”). In making its decision, the Board considered information furnished specifically in connection with the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement with Delaware Management Company (“DMC”), which included materials provided by DMC and its affiliates (“Delaware Investments”) concerning, among other things, the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund, the costs of such services to the Fund, economies of scale and the financial condition and profitability of Delaware Investments. Reference was made to information furnished at regular quarterly Board meetings, including reports detailing Fund performance, investment strategies and expenses, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with the renewal of the investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts. In addition, in connection with the Annual Meeting, reports were provided in May 2011 and included independent historical and comparative reports provided by Lipper, Inc., an independent statistical compilation organization (“Lipper”). The Lipper reports compared the Fund’s investment performance and expenses with those of other comparable mutual funds. The independent Directors reviewed and discussed the Lipper reports with independent legal counsel to the independent Directors. The Board requested and received information regarding DMC’s policy with respect to advisory fee levels and its breakpoint philosophy; the structure of portfolio manager compensation; the investment manager’s profitability; and any constraints or limitations on the availability of securities in certain investment styles, which had in the past year inhibited, or which were likely in the future to inhibit, DMC’s ability to invest fully in accordance with Fund policies.

In considering information relating to the approval of the Fund’s advisory agreement, the independent Directors received assistance and advice from and met separately with independent legal counsel to the independent Directors. Although the Board gave attention to all information furnished, the following discussion identifies, under separate headings, the primary factors taken into account by the Board during its contract renewal considerations.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Service. The Board considered the services provided by Delaware Investments to the Fund and its shareholders. In reviewing the nature, extent and quality of services, the Board considered reports furnished to it throughout the year, which covered matters such as the relative performance of the Fund, compliance of portfolio managers with the investment policies, strategies and restrictions for the Fund, compliance by DMC personnel with the Code of Ethics adopted throughout the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds complex and adherence to fair value pricing procedures as established by the Board. The Board was pleased with the current staffing of the Fund’s investment advisor and the emphasis placed on research in the investment process. The Board gave favorable consideration to DMC’s efforts to control expenditures while maintaining service levels committed to fund matters. The Board was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the overall services provided by Delaware Investments.

Investment Performance. The Board placed significant emphasis on the investment performance of the Fund in view of its importance to shareholders. Although the Board gave appropriate consideration to performance reports and discussions with portfolio managers at Board meetings throughout the year, the Board gave particular weight to the Lipper reports furnished for the Annual Meeting. The Lipper reports prepared for the Fund showed the investment performance of its shares in comparison to a group of similar funds as selected by Lipper (the “Performance Universe”). A fund with the highest performance ranked first, and a fund with the lowest ranked last. The highest/best performing 25% of funds in the Performance Universe make up the first quartile; the next 25%, the second quartile; the next 25%, the third quartile; and the lowest/worst performing 25% of funds in the Performance Universe make up the fourth quartile. Comparative annualized performance for the Fund was shown for the past one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2011. The Board’s objective is that the Fund’s performance for the periods considered be at or above the median of its Performance Universe. The following paragraph summarizes the performance results for the Fund and the Board’s view of such performance.

The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all non-leveraged closed-end global funds as selected by Lipper. The Lipper report comparison showed that the Fund’s total return for the one-year period was in the second quartile. The report further showed that the Fund’s total return for the three-year period was in the first quartile. The Board was satisfied with performance.

Comparative Expenses. The Board considered expense comparison data for the Delaware Investments® Family of Funds. Management provided the Board with information on pricing levels and fee structures for the Fund as of its most recently completed fiscal year. The Board also focused on the comparative analysis of effective management fees and total expense ratios of the Fund versus effective management fees and expense ratios of a group of similar closed-end funds as selected by Lipper (the “Expense Group”). In reviewing comparative costs, the Fund’s contractual management fee and the actual management fee incurred by the Fund were compared with the contractual management fees (assuming all funds in the Expense Group were similar in size to the Fund) and actual management fees (as reported by each fund) within the Expense Group, taking into account any applicable breakpoints and fee waivers. The Fund’s total expenses were also compared with those of its Expense Group. The Board considered fees paid to Delaware Investments for non-management services. The Board’s objective is to limit the Fund’s total expense ratio to be competitive with that of the Expense Group. The following paragraph summarizes the expense results for the Fund and the Board’s view of such expenses.

The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was in the quartile with the second highest expenses of its Expense Group and its total expenses were in the quartile with the highest expenses of its Expense Group. The Fund’s total expenses were not in line with the Board’s objective. In evaluating total expenses, the Board considered the Fund’s pending reorganization. The Board was satisfied with Management’s efforts to improve the Fund’s total expense ratio and bring it in line with the Board’s objective.

Management Profitability. The Board considered the level of profits, if any, realized by Delaware Investments in connection with the operation of the Fund. In this respect, the Board reviewed the Investment Management Profitability Analysis that addressed the overall profitability of Delaware Investments’ business in providing management and other services to each of the individual funds and the Delaware Investments Family of Funds as a whole. Specific attention was given to the methodology followed in allocating costs for the purpose of determining profitability. Management stated that the level of profits of Delaware Investments, to a certain extent, reflects recent operational cost savings and efficiencies initiated by Delaware Investments. The Board considered Delaware Investments’ efforts to improve services provided to fund shareholders and to meet additional regulatory and compliance requirements resulting from recent industry-wide Securities and Exchange Commission initiatives. The Board also considered the extent to which Delaware Investments might derive ancillary benefits from fund operations, including the potential for procuring additional business as a result of the prestige and visibility associated with its role as service provider to the Delaware Investments Family of Funds and the benefits from allocation of fund brokerage to improve trading efficiencies. The Board found that the management fees were reasonable in light of the services rendered and the profitability of Delaware Investments.

Economies of Scale. As a closed-end fund, the Fund does not issue shares on a continuous basis. Fund assets increase only to the extent that the values of the underlying securities in the Fund increase. Accordingly, the Board determined that the Fund was not likely to experience significant economies of scale due to asset growth and, therefore, a fee schedule with breakpoints to pass the benefit of economies of scale on to shareholders was not likely to provide the intended effect.

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 Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund (the Fund) effective May 20, 2010. At a meeting held on May 20, 2010, the Board of Trustees 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.

Board of trustees/directors
and officers addendum

Delaware Investments®  Family of Funds

A fund is governed by a Board of Trustees/Directors (“Trustees”), which has oversight responsibility for the management of a fund’s business affairs. Trustees establish procedures and oversee and review the performance of the investment manager and others who perform services for the fund. The independent fund trustees, in particular, are advocates for shareholder interests. Each trustee has served in that capacity since he or she was elected to or appointed to the Board of Trustees, and will continue to serve until his or her retirement or the election of a new trustee in his or her place.

A copy of the registrant’s Code of Business Ethics has been posted on the Delaware Investments Internet Web site at www.delawareinvestments.com.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert

     The registrant’s Board of Trustees/Directors has determined that certain members of the registrant’s Audit Committee are audit committee financial experts, as defined below. For purposes of this item, an “audit committee financial expert” is a person who has the following attributes:

     a. An understanding of generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements;

     b. The ability to assess the general application of such principles in connection with the accounting for estimates, accruals, and reserves;

     c. Experience preparing, auditing, analyzing, or evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the registrant’s financial statements, or experience actively supervising one or more persons engaged in such activities;

     d. An understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting; and

     e. An understanding of audit committee functions.

An “audit committee financial expert” shall have acquired such attributes through:

     a. Education and experience as a principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, public accountant, or auditor or experience in one or more positions that involve the performance of similar functions;

     b. Experience actively supervising a principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, public accountant, auditor, or person performing similar functions;

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

     (a) Audit fees.

     The aggregate fees billed for services provided to the registrant by its independent auditors for the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements and for services normally provided by the independent auditors in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements were $25,734 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2011.



     The aggregate fees billed for services provided to the registrant by its independent auditors for the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements and for services normally provided by the independent auditors in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements were $15,400 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2010.

     (b) Audit-related fees.

     The aggregate fees billed by the registrant’s independent auditors for services relating to the performance of the audit of the registrant’s financial statements and not reported under paragraph (a) of this Item were $0 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2011.

     The aggregate fees billed by the registrant’s independent auditors for services relating to the performance of the audit of the financial statements of the registrant’s investment adviser and other service providers under common control with the adviser and that relate directly to the operations or financial reporting of the registrant were $593,000 for the registrant’s fiscal year ended November 30, 2011.

The Audit Committee has determined that the independent auditors’ provision of these services is compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence.

Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants

     The registrant has a separately-designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The members of the registrant’s Audit Committee are Thomas L. Bennett, John A. Fry, Frances A. Sevilla-Sacasa and Janet L. Yeomans.

     (b) Divestment of securities in accordance with Section 13(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

     Not applicable.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies

     The registrant has formally delegated to its investment adviser(s) (the “Adviser”) the ability to make all proxy voting decisions in relation to portfolio securities held by the registrant. If and when proxies need to be voted on behalf of the registrant, the Adviser will vote such proxies pursuant to its Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures (the “Procedures”). The Adviser has established a Proxy Voting Committee (the “Committee”) which is responsible for overseeing the Adviser’s proxy voting process for the registrant. One of the main responsibilities of the Committee is to review and approve the Procedures to ensure that the Procedures are designed to allow the Adviser to vote proxies in a manner consistent with the goal of voting in the best interests of the registrant.

     In order to facilitate the actual process of voting proxies, the Adviser has contracted with Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of RiskMetrics Group ("RiskMetrics"), to analyze proxy statements on behalf of the registrant and other Adviser clients and vote proxies generally in accordance with the Procedures. The Committee is responsible for overseeing ISS/RiskMetrics’s proxy voting activities. If a proxy has been voted for the registrant, ISS/RiskMetrics will create a record of the vote. By no later than August 31 of each year, information (if any) regarding how the registrant voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recently disclosed 12-month period ended June 30 is available without charge (i) through the registrant’s Web site at http://www.delawareinvestments.com; and (ii) on the Commission’s Web site at http://www.sec.gov.

     The Procedures contain a general guideline that recommendations of company management on an issue (particularly routine issues) should be given a fair amount of weight in determining how proxy issues should be voted. However, the Adviser will normally vote against management’s position when it runs counter to its specific Proxy Voting Guidelines (the “Guidelines”), and the Adviser will also vote against management’s recommendation when it believes that such position is not in the best interests of the registrant.

     As stated above, the Procedures also list specific Guidelines on how to vote proxies on behalf of the registrant. Some examples of the Guidelines are as follows: (i) generally vote for shareholder proposals asking that a majority or more of directors be independent; (ii) generally vote against proposals to require a supermajority shareholder vote; (iii) votes on mergers and acquisitions should be considered on a case-by-case basis, determining whether the transaction enhances shareholder value; (iv) generally vote against proposals to create a new class of common stock with superior voting rights; (v) generally vote re-incorporation proposals on a case-by-case basis; (vi) votes with respect to equity-based compensation plans are generally determined on a case-by-case basis; and (vii) generally vote for proposals requesting reports on the level of greenhouse gas emissions from a company’s operations and products.



     Because the registrant has delegated proxy voting to the Adviser, the registrant is not expected to encounter any conflict of interest issues regarding proxy voting and therefore does not have procedures regarding this matter. However, the Adviser does have a section in its Procedures that addresses the possibility of conflicts of interest. Most proxies which the Adviser receives on behalf of the registrant are voted by ISS/RiskMetrics in accordance with the Procedures. Because almost all registrant proxies are voted by ISS/RiskMetrics pursuant to the pre-determined Procedures, it normally will not be necessary for the Adviser to make an actual determination of how to vote a particular proxy, thereby largely eliminating conflicts of interest for the Adviser during the proxy voting process. In the very limited instances where the Adviser is considering voting a proxy contrary to ISS/RiskMetrics’s recommendation, the Committee will first assess the issue to see if there is any possible conflict of interest involving the Adviser or affiliated persons of the Adviser. If a member of the Committee has actual knowledge of a conflict of interest, the Committee will normally use another independent third party to do additional research on the particular proxy issue in order to make a recommendation to the Committee on how to vote the proxy in the best interests of the registrant. The Committee will then review the proxy voting materials and recommendation provided by ISS/RiskMetrics and the independent third party to determine how to vote the issue in a manner which the Committee believes is consistent with the Procedures and in the best interests of the registrant.

DESCRIPTION OF MATERIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
     Individual portfolio managers may perform investment management services for other funds or accounts similar to those provided to the Funds and the investment action for such other fund or account and the Funds may differ. For example, an account or fund may be selling a security, while another account or Fund may be purchasing or holding the same security. As a result, transactions executed for one fund or account may adversely affect the value of securities held by another fund, account or Fund. Additionally, the management of multiple other funds or accounts and the Funds may give rise to potential conflicts of interest, as a portfolio manager must allocate time and effort to multiple funds or accounts and the Funds. A portfolio manager may discover an investment opportunity that may be suitable for more than one account or fund. The investment opportunity may be limited, however, so that all funds or accounts for which the investment would be suitable may not be able to participate. The Manager has adopted procedures designed to allocate investments fairly across multiple funds or accounts.

     Three of the accounts managed by the portfolio managers have a performance-based fee. This compensation structure presents a potential conflict of interest. The portfolio manager has an incentive to manage this account so as to enhance its performance, to the possible detriment of other accounts for which the investment manager does not receive a performance-based fee.

     A portfolio manager’s management of personal accounts also may present certain conflicts of interest. While Delaware’s code of ethics is designed to address these potential conflicts, there is no guarantee that it will do so.

Compensation Structure 
    
Each portfolio’s manager’s compensation consists of the following:



     Base Salary - Each named portfolio manager receives a fixed base salary. Salaries are determined by a comparison to industry data prepared by third parties to ensure that portfolio manager salaries are in line with salaries paid at peer investment advisory firms.

     Bonus – (Mr. Nutt only) Each named portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus. The bonus pool is determined by the revenues associated with the products a portfolio manager manages. Delaware keeps a percentage of the revenues and the remaining percentage of revenues (minus appropriate expenses associated with relevant product and the investment management team) create the "bonus pool" for the product. Various members of the team have the ability to earn a percentage of the bonus pool with the most senior contributor generally having the largest share. The pool is allotted based on subjective factors and objective factors. The primary objective factor is the one-year, three-year and five-year performance of the funds managed relative to the performance of the appropriate Lipper peer groups and the performance of institutional composites relative to the appropriate indices. Three-year and five-year performance is weighted more heavily and there is no objective award for a fund whose performance falls below the 50th percentile for a given time period.

     Individual allocations of the bonus pool are based on individual performance measurements, both objective and subjective, as determined by senior management.

     (Mr. Andres and Mr. Zenouzi only) Each named portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus. The bonus pool is determined by the revenues associated with the products a portfolio manager manages. Delaware keeps a percentage of the revenues and the remaining percentage of revenues (minus appropriate expenses associated with relevant product and the investment management team) create the "bonus pool" for the product. Various members of the team have the ability to earn a percentage of the bonus pool with the most senior contributor generally having the largest share. The pool is allotted based on subjective factors (50%) and objective factors (50%). The primary objective factor is the one-year, three-year and five-year performance of the funds managed relative to the performance of the appropriate Lipper peer groups and the performance of institutional composites relative to the appropriate indices. Three-year and five-year performance is weighed more heavily and there is no objective award for a fund whose performance falls below the 50th percentile for a given time period.

     Individual allocations of the bonus pool are based on individual performance measurements, both objective and subjective, as determined by senior management.

     (Mr. Gray only) Each named portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus. The bonus pool is determined by the revenues associated with the products a portfolio manager manages. Delaware keeps a percentage of the revenues and the remaining percentage of revenues (minus appropriate expenses associated with relevant product and the investment management team) create the "bonus pool" for the product. Various members of the team have the ability to earn a percentage of the bonus pool with the most senior contributor generally having the largest share. The pool is allotted based on subjective factors (50%) and objective factors (50%). The primary objective factor is the one-year, three-year and five-year performance of the funds managed relative to the performance of the appropriate Lipper peer groups and the performance of institutional composites relative to the appropriate indices. Three-year and five-year performance are weighted more heavily and there is no objective award for a fund whose performance falls below the 50th percentile for a given time period.

     Individual allocations of the bonus pool are based on individual performance measurements, both objective and subjective, as determined by senior management.



     (Mr. Chen only) The portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus. The bonus pool is determined by the revenues associated with the products the portfolio manager manages. Delaware keeps a percentage of the revenues and the remaining percentage of revenues (minus appropriate expenses associated with relevant product and the investment management team) create the "bonus pool" for the product. Various members of the team have the ability to earn a percentage of the bonus pool with the most senior contributor generally having the largest share. The pool is allotted based on subjective factors (50%) and objective factors (50%). The primary objective factor is the one-year, three-year and five-year performance of the funds managed relative to the performance of the appropriate Lipper peer groups and the performance of institutional composites relative to the appropriate indices. Three-year and five-year performance are weighted more heavily and there is no objective award for a fund whose performance falls below the 50th percentile for a given time period.

     Individual allocations of the bonus pool are based on individual performance measurements, both objective and subjective, as determined by senior management.

     (Mr. Anglace, Mr. Chow, Mr. Early and Mr. Loome only) An objective component is added to the bonus for each manager that is reflective of account performance relative to an appropriate peer group or database. The following paragraph describes the structure of the non-guaranteed bonus.

     Each portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus, which is based on quantitative and qualitative factors. There is one pool for bonus payments for the fixed income department. The amount of the pool for bonus payments is determined by assets managed (including investment companies, insurance product-related accounts and other separate accounts), management fees and related expenses (including fund waiver expenses) for registered investment companies, pooled vehicles, and managed separate accounts. Generally, 60%-75% of the bonus is quantitatively determined. For more senior portfolio managers, a higher percentage of the bonus is quantitatively determined. For investment companies, each manager is compensated according the Fund’s Lipper or Morningstar peer group percentile ranking on a one-year, three-year, and five-year basis, with longer-term performance more heavily weighted. For managed separate accounts the portfolio managers are compensated according to the composite percentile ranking against the Frank Russell and Callan Associates databases (or similar sources of relative performance data) on a one-year, three-year, and five-year basis, with longer term performance more heavily weighted. There is no objective award for a fund that falls below the 50th percentile, but incentives reach maximum potential at the 25th-30th percentile. There is a sliding scale for investment companies that are ranked above the 50th percentile. The remaining 25%-40% portion of the bonus is discretionary as determined by Delaware Investments and takes into account subjective factors.

     For new and recently transitioned portfolio managers, the compensation may be weighted more heavily towards a portfolio manager’s actual contribution and ability to influence performance, rather than longer-term performance. Management intends to move the compensation structure towards longer-term performance for these portfolio managers over time.

     Incentive Unit Plan - Portfolio managers may be awarded incentive unit awards (“Awards”) relating to the underlying shares of common stock of Delaware Management Holdings, Inc. issuable pursuant to the terms of the Delaware Investments Incentive Unit Plan (the “Plan”) adopted on November 30, 2010. Awards are no longer granted under the Delaware Investments U.S., Inc. 2009 Incentive Compensation Plan or the Amended and Restated Delaware Investments U.S., Inc. Incentive Compensation Plan, which was established in 2001.



     The Plan was adopted in order to: assist the Manager in attracting, retaining, and rewarding key employees of the company; enable such employees to acquire or increase an equity interest in the company in order to align the interest of such employees and the Manager; and provide such employees with incentives to expend their maximum efforts. Subject to the terms of the Plan and applicable award agreements, Awards typically vest in 25% increments on a four-year schedule, and shares of common stock underlying the Awards are issued after vesting. The fair market value of the shares of Delaware Management Holdings, Inc., is normally determined as of each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 by an independent appraiser. Generally, a stockholder may put shares back to the company during the put period communicated in connection with the applicable valuation.

     Other Compensation - Portfolio managers may also participate in benefit plans and programs available generally to all employees.

Ownership of Securities 
    
As of November 30, 2011, the portfolio managers did not own any shares of the Fund.
