SHAREHOLDERS, WE NEED YOUR PROXY VOTE IMMEDIATELY.

YOUR VOTE IS VITAL. THE JOINT MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS WILL HAVE TO BE ADJOURNED WITHOUT CONDUCTING ANY BUSINESS IF FEWER THAN A MAJORITY OF THE SHARES ELIGIBLE TO VOTE ARE REPRESENTED. IN THAT EVENT, ONE OR MORE OF THE FUNDS WOULD ADJOURN THE MEETING AND CONTINUE TO SOLICIT VOTES IN AN ATTEMPT TO OBTAIN A QUORUM. TO AVOID THE EXPENSE OF AND THE POSSIBLE DELAY CREATED BY SUCH A SOLICITATION, PLEASE VOTE YOUR PROXY IMMEDIATELY. YOU AND ALL OTHER SHAREHOLDERS WILL BENEFIT FROM YOUR COOPERATION.

JOINT PROXY STATEMENT

The board of directors (the “Board”) of each of DNP Select Income Fund Inc. (“DNP”), Duff & Phelps Global Utility Income Fund Inc. (“DPG”), Duff & Phelps Utility and Corporate Bond Trust Inc. (“DUC”) and DTF Tax-Free Income Inc. (“DTF” and, collectively with DNP, DPG and DUC, the “Funds”) is soliciting proxies from the shareholders of each Fund for use at the joint annual meeting of shareholders to be held on Tuesday, March 14, 2017 and at any adjournment or postponement of that meeting. A proxy may be revoked at any time before it is voted, either by voting in person at the meeting or by written notice to the applicable Fund or delivery of a later-dated proxy.

The meeting is scheduled as a joint meeting of the respective shareholders of the Funds because the shareholders of each Fund are expected to consider and vote on similar matters. The Board has determined that the use of a joint proxy statement for the meeting is in the best interest of the shareholders of each Fund. In the event that any shareholder of a Fund present at the meeting objects to the holding of a joint meeting and moves for an adjournment of such Fund’s meeting to a time immediately after the meeting, so that such Fund’s meeting may be held separately, the persons named as proxies will vote in favor of such adjournment. Shareholders of each Fund will vote separately on each of the proposals relating to their respective Fund, and an unfavorable vote on a proposal by the shareholders of one Fund will not affect the implementation by the other Fund of such proposal if the shareholders of such other Fund approve the proposal.

Each share of preferred stock outstanding on the record date entitles the holder thereof to one vote for each director being elected by the preferred stock (with no cumulative voting permitted).

This proxy statement is first being mailed on or about January 30, 2017. The Funds will bear the cost of the annual meeting and this proxy solicitation.

1. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board of each Fund is responsible for the overall management and operations of that Fund. As of the date of this joint proxy statement, the Board of each Fund is comprised of the same ten directors. Directors of each Fund are divided into three classes and are elected to serve staggered three-year terms.

The persons named in the enclosed proxy intend to vote in favor of the election of the persons named below (unless otherwise instructed). Each of the nominees has consented to serve as a director of the Fund, if elected. In case any of the nominees should become unavailable for election for any unforeseen reason, the persons designated in the proxy will have the right to vote for a substitute.

Upcoming Director Retirements

After many years of service, Christian H. Poindexter and Carl F. Pollard will be retiring from the Board when their current terms expire at the end of the annual meeting of shareholders on March 14, 2017. Mr. Poindexter has been a director of DNP since 2003, of DUC and DTF since 2008 and of DPG since 2011, and has served as chairman of the nominating and governance committee. Mr. Pollard has been a director of DNP since 2002, of DUC and DTF since 2006 and of DPG since 2011, and has served as chairman of the audit committee and a member of the executive committee. The Funds express deep appreciation to Mr. Poindexter and Mr. Pollard for their dedicated service and wish them well in their retirement.

When Messrs. Poindexter and Pollard complete their terms at the annual meeting of shareholders, the size of the Board will be reduced from ten to eight. In the future, the Board may decide to increase the size of the Board if doing so would improve the overall diversity of experiences and/or skills of the Board members. In the meantime, in order to keep the three classes of directors as nearly equal in size as possible, the Board has nominated David J. Vitale, whose current term does not expire until 2018, to stand for reelection at this year’s annual meeting of shareholders.

In recent years, Mr. Pollard has served on the Board of DNP, DPG and DTF as one of two directors elected by the holders of preferred stock. Because the holders of the preferred stock of those Funds are entitled to elect two directors at all times, the Board has nominated Geraldine M. McNamara, an incumbent director whose current term is expiring this year, for election at this year’s annual meeting by the holders of preferred stock of each of DNP, DPG and DTF voting as a separate class.

Election of DNP Directors (Proposals 1a. and 1b.)

At the meeting, holders of DNP common stock are entitled to elect one director for a term ending in 2020 and the holders of DNP preferred stock are entitled to elect one director for a term ending in 2020, in each case to serve until the annual meeting of shareholders in that year and until their respective successors are elected and qualified. A plurality of votes cast at the meeting by the holders of DNP common stock as to the director representing the common stock is necessary to elect that director. A plurality of votes cast at the meeting by the holders of DNP preferred stock as to the director representing the preferred stock is necessary to elect that director. Abstentions and broker-non-votes are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the meeting, but will not affect the determination of whether a director candidate has received a plurality of votes cast.

2

Election of DPG Directors (Proposals 1c. and 1d.)

At the meeting, holders of DPG common and preferred stock, voting as a single class, are entitled to elect one director for a term ending in 2020 and the holders of DPG preferred stock, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect one director for a term ending in 2020, in each case to serve until the annual meeting of shareholders in that year and until their respective successors are elected and qualified. A plurality of votes cast at the meeting by the holders of DPG common and preferred stock, voting as a single class, as to the director representing the common and preferred stock is necessary to elect that director. A plurality of votes cast at the meeting by the holders of DPG preferred stock as to the director representing the preferred stock is necessary to elect that director. Abstentions and broker-non-votes are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the meeting, but will not affect the determination of whether a director candidate has received a plurality of votes cast.

Election of DUC Directors (Proposal 1e.)

At the meeting, holders of DUC common stock are entitled to elect two directors for a term ending in 2020 to serve until the annual meeting of shareholders in that year and until their respective successors are elected and qualified. A plurality of votes cast at the meeting by the holders of DUC common stock is necessary to elect those directors. Abstentions and broker-non-votes are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the meeting, but will not affect the determination of whether a director candidate has received a plurality of votes cast.

Election of DTF Directors (Proposals 1f. and 1g.)

At the meeting, holders of DTF common and preferred stock, voting as a single class, are entitled to elect one director for a term ending in 2020 and the holders of DTF preferred stock, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect one director for a term ending in 2020, in each case to serve until the annual meeting of shareholders in that year and until their respective successors are elected and qualified. A plurality of votes cast at the meeting by the holders of DTF common and preferred stock, voting as a single class, as to the director representing the common and preferred stock is necessary to elect that director. A plurality of votes cast at the meeting by the holders of DTF preferred stock as to the director representing the preferred stock is necessary to elect that director. Abstentions and broker-non-votes are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the meeting, but will not affect the determination of whether a director candidate has received a plurality of votes cast.

All of the directors of the Funds, with the exception of Mr. Partain, are classified as independent directors because none of them are “interested persons” of the Funds, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). Mr. Partain is an “interested person” of the Funds by reason of his positions as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Funds and President, Chief Investment Officer and employee of the Funds’ investment adviser, Duff & Phelps Investment Management Co. (the “Adviser”). The term “Fund Complex” refers to the Funds and all other investment companies advised by affiliates of Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. (“Virtus”), the Adviser’s parent company. The address for all directors is c/o Duff & Phelps Investment Management Co., 200 South Wacker Drive, Suite 500, Chicago, Illinois 60606.

Board Leadership Structure

The Board believes that the most appropriate leadership structure for the Funds is for the Chairman of the Board to be an independent director, in order to provide strong, independent oversight of each Fund’s management and affairs, including each Fund’s risk management function. Accordingly, while the Chief Executive Officer of the Funds will generally be a member of the Board, he or she will not normally be eligible to serve as Chairman of the Board. The independent Chairman of the Board presides at meetings of the shareholders, meetings of the Board and meetings of independent directors. In addition, the independent Chairman of the Board takes part in the meetings and deliberations of all committees of the Board, facilitates communication among directors and communication between the Board and the Funds’ management and is available for consultation with the Funds’ management between Board meetings. The Board has four standing committees, which are described below: the executive committee, the audit committee, the contracts committee, and the nominating and governance committee.

The executive committee is comprised of Mr. Vitale (Chairman), Ms. Moran and Mr. Pollard (until March 14, 2017) and has authority, with certain exceptions, to exercise the powers of the Board between Board meetings.

The audit committee of the Board is comprised of all independent directors of each Fund (Mr. Pollard, retiring effective March 14, 2017, is the current Chairman) and makes recommendations regarding the selection of each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm and meets with representatives of that accounting firm to determine the scope of and review the results of each audit.

The contracts committee of the Board is comprised of all independent directors of each Fund (Ms. Moran, Chairperson) and makes recommendations regarding each Fund’s contractual arrangements for investment management and administrative services, including the terms and conditions of such contracts.

The nominating and governance committee of the Board is comprised of all independent directors of each Fund (Mr. Poindexter, retiring effective March 14, 2017, is the current Chairman) and selects nominees for election as directors, recommends individuals to be appointed by the Board as officers of the Funds and members of Board committees and makes recommendations regarding other Fund governance and Board administration matters.

During DNP’s fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, the DNP Board met four times; the DNP audit committee met two times; the DNP nominating and governance committee met three times; the DNP contracts committee met two times; and the DNP executive committee met once and acted twice by written consent. During DPG’s fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, the DPG Board met four times; the DPG audit committee met two times; the DPG nominating and governance committee met three times; the DPG contracts committee met two times; and the DPG executive committee did not meet or act by written consent. During DUC’s fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, the DUC Board met four times; the DUC audit committee met two times; the DUC nominating and governance committee met three times; the DUC contracts committee met two times; and the DUC executive committee acted once by written consent. During DTF’s fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, the DTF Board met five times and acted once by written consent; the DTF audit committee met two times; the DTF nominating and governance committee met three times; the DTF contracts committee met two times; and the DTF executive committee acted once by written consent. Each director attended at least 75% in the aggregate of the meetings of the Board and of the committees on which he or she served.

Risk Oversight. The audit committee charter provides that the audit committee is responsible for discussing with management the guidelines and policies that govern the process by which management assesses and

9

manages each Fund’s major financial risk exposures. The contracts committee charter provides that in assessing whether each Fund’s investment advisory agreement and administration agreement should be continued, the contracts committee is to give careful consideration to the risk oversight policies of the Adviser and each Fund’s administrator, respectively. In addition, the audit committee and the full Board receive periodic reports on enterprise risk management from the chief risk officer of the Adviser.

Nomination of Directors. The nominating and governance committee is comprised of all independent directors of each Fund and acts under a written charter that was most recently amended on May 11, 2011. A copy of the charter is available on each Fund’s website at www.dnpselectincome.com, www.dpgfund.com, www.ducfund.com and www.dtffund.com and in print to any shareholder who requests it. None of the members of the nominating and governance committee are “interested persons” of the Funds as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act. In identifying potential director nominees, the nominating and governance committee considers candidates recommended by one or more of the following sources: the Funds’ current directors, the Funds’ officers, the Funds’ shareholders and any other source the committee deems appropriate. The committee may, but is not required to, retain a third-party search firm at the Funds’ expense to identify potential candidates. Shareholders wishing to recommend candidates to the nominating and governance committee should submit such recommendations to the Secretary of the Funds, who will forward the recommendations to the committee for consideration.

Diversity Policy. The goal of the Funds is to have a board of directors comprising individuals with a diversity of business, educational and life experiences (including, without limitation, with respect to accounting and finance, business and strategic judgment, investment management and financial markets, and knowledge of the industries in which the Funds invest) that will enable them to constructively review, advise and guide management of the Funds. The annual Board self-evaluation process includes consideration of whether the Board’s composition represents an appropriate balance of skills and diversity for the Funds’ needs. In evaluating potential director nominees, including nominees recommended by shareholders, the nominating and governance committee considers such qualifications and skills as it deems relevant but does not have any specific minimum qualifications that must be met by a nominee. The committee considers, among other things:

| • |  | the extent to which the candidate’s business, educational and life experiences will add to the diversity of the Board;

| • |  | whether the candidate will qualify as a director who is not an “interested person” of the Funds;

| • |  | the absence of any real or apparent conflict of interest that would interfere with the candidate’s ability to act in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders;

| • |  | the contribution that the candidate can make to the Board by virtue of his or her education, business experience and financial expertise;

(1) | Because each director serves as a director of each of the Funds, directors receive a single set of fees as remuneration for their service to all four Funds: (i) each director not affiliated with the Adviser receives a retainer fee of $84,000 per year; (ii) the chairpersons of the audit committee, contracts committee and nominating and governance committee each receive an additional retainer fee of $8,000 per year; and (iii) the Chairman of the Board receives an additional retainer fee of $50,000 per year. Directors and officers affiliated with the Adviser receive no compensation from the Funds for their services as such. In addition to the amounts shown in the table above, all directors and officers who are not interested persons of the Funds or the Adviser or affiliated with a Fund administrator are reimbursed for the expenses incurred by them in connection with their attendance at a meeting of the Board or a committee of the Board. The Funds do not have a pension or retirement plan applicable to their directors or officers.

(2) | Please refer to the table on pages 4 to 8 for the number of investment companies in the Fund Complex overseen by each director. As noted in the table, in addition to DNP, DPG, DUC and DTF, Mr. Burke, Mr. McLoughlin and Ms. McNamara respectively oversee 65, 70 and 65 additional funds that are advised by affiliates of Virtus.

The Board of each of the Funds, including all of the independent directors, unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the election of the two nominees for director named above.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance. Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act imposes the filing requirements of Section 16 of the 1934 Act upon (i) the Funds’ directors and officers, (ii) the Funds’ investment adviser and certain of their affiliated persons and (iii) every person who is directly or indirectly the beneficial owner of more than 10% of any class of a Fund’s outstanding securities (other than short-term paper). Based solely on a review of the copies of Section 16(a) forms furnished to the Funds, or written representations that no Forms 5 were required, the Funds believe that during each Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year all such filing requirements were complied with, except that David Grumhaus, an officer of the Adviser, was late in filing a Form 3 with respect to DNP and DPG and was late in filing a Form 4 with respect to one purchase of DNP common stock.

Report of the Audit Committee. The Funds’ independent directors comprise the audit committee of each Fund and act under a written charter which sets forth the audit committee’s responsibilities. A copy of the audit committee charter is available on each Fund’s website at www.dnpselectincome.com, www.dpgfund.com, www.ducfund.com and www.dtffund.com and in print to any shareholder who requests it. Each of the members of the audit committee is independent as defined in the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. In connection with the audit of each Fund’s 2016 audited financial statements, the audit committee: (1) reviewed and discussed each Fund’s 2016 audited financial statements with management, (2) discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1, AU section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T, (3) received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from the independent accountant required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and (4) discussed with the independent accountant its independence from each Fund and its management. Based on the foregoing reviews and discussions, the audit committee recommended to the board of directors that each Fund’s audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report to Shareholders for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. The 1940 Act requires that each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm be selected by the vote, cast in person, of a majority of the members of the Board who are not interested persons of the Fund. In addition, the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange vest the audit committee, in its capacity as a committee of the Board, with responsibility for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm. In accordance with the foregoing provisions, the firm of Ernst & Young LLP (“Ernst & Young”) has been selected as independent registered public accounting firm of each Fund to perform the audit of the financial books and records of the Funds for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2017. A representative of Ernst & Young is expected to participate by telephone in the joint annual meeting of shareholders and will be available to respond to appropriate questions and will have an opportunity to make a statement if the representative so desires.

19

Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services. Each engagement of an independent registered public accounting firm to render audit or non-audit services to a Fund is either (i) pre-approved by the Fund’s audit committee or the chairman of the audit committee, to whom the committee has delegated the authority to grant such pre-approvals between scheduled meetings of the committee, or (ii) entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit committee. A copy of the audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures is attached as Exhibit A to this proxy statement. Each Fund’s audit committee is also required to pre-approve its accountant’s engagements for non-audit services rendered to the Adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. In deciding whether to grant pre-approval for such non-audit services, the audit committee or the chairman of the audit committee, as the case may be, considers whether the provision of such non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the independence of the Fund’s accountants.

Audit and Non-Audit Fees. The following table sets forth the aggregate audit and non-audit fees billed to each Fund for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by Ernst & Young. For purposes of this table, to the extent the amount of a fee for a pre-approved service is known as of the date of this report, such fee amount has been allocated to the fiscal year to which the applicable service relates, even in cases where the applicable Fund has not yet been billed for such service.

(1) | Audit Fees are fees billed for professional services rendered by each Fund’s principal accountant for the audit of the Fund’s annual financial statements and for services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

(2) | Audit-Related Fees are fees billed for assurance and related services by each Fund’s principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the Fund’s financial statements and are not reported under the caption “Audit Fees.”

(3) | Tax Fees are fees billed for professional services rendered by each Fund’s principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. In both years shown in the table, such services consisted of

20

| preparation of the annual federal and state income tax returns and excise tax returns for DNP, DUC and DTF. In the case of DPG, such services consisted of review of the Fund’s annual federal and excise tax returns and preparation and analysis of state income tax returns.

(4) | All Other Fees are fees billed for products and services provided by each Fund’s principal accountant, other than the services reported under the captions “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees” and “Tax Fees.”

(5) | Aggregate Non-Audit Fees are non-audit fees billed by each Fund’s accountant for services rendered to the Fund, the Adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund. During both years shown in the table, no portion of such fees related to services rendered by each Fund’s accountant to the Adviser or to any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund.

(6) | No portion of these fees was approved by the audit committee after the beginning of the engagement pursuant to the waiver of the pre-approval requirement for certain de minimis non-audit services described in Section 10A of the 1934 Act and applicable regulations.

Communications with the Board by Shareholders and Other Interested Persons. The Board has adopted the following procedures for shareholders and other interested persons to send communications to the Board. Shareholders and other interested persons may mail written communications to the full Board, to committees of the Board or to specified individual directors in care of the Secretary of the Funds, 200 S. Wacker Drive, Suite 500, Chicago, Illinois 60606. All such communications received by the Secretary will be forwarded promptly to the full Board, the relevant Board committee or the specified individual directors, as applicable, except that the Secretary may, in good faith, determine that a communication should not be so forwarded if it does not reasonably relate to the Funds or their operations, management, activities, policies, service providers, Board, officers, shareholders, or other matters relating to an investment in the Funds or is purely ministerial in nature. Each of the Funds’ directors is encouraged to attend the annual meeting of shareholders. All of the individuals who were directors of the Funds at the time of the March 15, 2016 joint annual meeting of the Funds’ shareholders were in attendance at that meeting.

Shareholder Proposals. Any shareholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in any Fund’s proxy statement and form of proxy for the 2018 annual meeting of shareholders should be received by the Secretary of the Fund no later than October 2, 2017. Under the circumstances described in, and upon compliance with, Rule 14a-4(c) under the 1934 Act, a Fund may solicit proxies in connection with the 2018 annual meeting which confer discretionary authority to vote on any shareholder proposals of which the Secretary of the Fund does not receive notice by December 16, 2017.

Solicitation of Proxies. Proxies will be solicited by mail. Proxies may be solicited by Fund personnel personally or by telephone, telegraph or mail, but such persons will not be specially compensated for such services. The Funds will inquire of any record holder known to be a broker, dealer, bank or other nominee as to whether other persons are the beneficial owners of shares held of record by such persons. If so, the Funds will supply additional copies of solicitation materials for forwarding to beneficial owners, and will make reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket costs. In addition, the Funds may hire a proxy solicitor to assist the Funds in the solicitation of proxies at a fee of approximately $5,000 per Fund, plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Annual Report. Each Fund will provide without charge to any shareholder who so requests, a copy of the Fund’s annual report for the Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year. The annual reports for DNP, DUC and DTF are available by calling Hilliard Lyons toll-free at (888) 878-7845 and are also available on each such Fund’s web site at www.dnpselectincome.com, www.ducfund.com and www.dtffund.com. The annual report for DPG is available by calling Virtus Fund Services toll-free at (866) 270-7598 and is also available on DPG’s web site at www.dpgfund.com.

Exhibit A

DNP SELECT INCOME FUND INC. (“DNP”)

AUDIT COMMITTEE

AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES PRE-APPROVAL POLICY

(as adopted on December 14, 2016)

I. Statement of Principles

Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Act”), the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of each of DNP Select Income Fund Inc., Duff & Phelps Global Utility Income Fund Inc., Duff & Phelps Utility and Corporate Bond Trust Inc. and DTF Tax-Free Income Inc. (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”)(1) is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor. As part of this responsibility, the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditor in order to assure that they do not impair the auditor’s independence from the Fund. To implement these provisions of the Act, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has issued rules specifying the types of services that an independent auditor may not provide to its audit client, as well as the Audit Committee’s administration of the engagement of the independent auditor. Accordingly, the Audit Committee has adopted this Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (this “Policy”), which sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services proposed to be performed by the independent auditor may be pre-approved.

The SEC’s rules establish two different approaches to pre-approving services, which the SEC considers to be equally valid. Proposed services either: may be pre-approved without consideration of specific case-by-case services by the Audit Committee (“general pre-approval”); or require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee (“specific pre-approval”). The Audit Committee believes that the combination of these two approaches in this Policy will result in an effective and efficient procedure to pre-approve services performed by the independent auditor. As set forth in this Policy, unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the independent auditor. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

For both types of pre-approval, the Audit Committee will consider whether such services are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence. The Audit Committee will also consider whether the independent auditor is best positioned to provide the most effective and efficient service, for reasons such as its familiarity with the Fund’s business, people, culture, accounting systems, risk profile and other factors, and whether the

(1) | This Joint Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy has been adopted by the Audit Committee of each Fund. Solely for the sake of clarity and simplicity, this Joint Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy has been drafted as if there is a single Fund, a single Audit Committee and a single Board. The terms “Audit Committee” and “Board” mean the Audit Committee and Board of each Fund, respectively, unless the context otherwise requires. The Audit Committee and the Board of each Fund, however, shall act separately and in the best interests of its respective Fund.

23

service might enhance the Fund’s ability to manage or control risk or improve audit quality. All such factors will be considered as a whole, and no one factor should necessarily be determinative.

Under the SEC’s rules, the Audit Committee must pre-approve non-audit services provided not only to the Fund but also to the Fund’s investment adviser and other affiliated entities that provide ongoing services to the Fund if the independent accountant’s services to those affiliated entities have a direct impact on the Fund’s operations or financial reporting.

The Audit Committee is also mindful of the relationship between fees for audit and non-audit services in deciding whether to pre-approve any such services and may determine, for each fiscal year, the appropriate ratio between the total amount of fees for audit, audit-related and tax services (including any audit-related or tax service fees for affiliates that are subject to pre-approval) and the total amount of fees for certain permissible non-audit services classified as “all other” services (including any such services for affiliates that are subject to pre-approval).

The appendices to this Policy describe the audit, audit-related, tax and “all other” services that have the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee considers a different period and states otherwise. The Audit Committee will annually review and pre-approve the services that may be provided by the independent auditor without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will add to or subtract from the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.

The purpose of this Policy is to set forth the procedures by which the Audit Committee intends to fulfill its responsibilities. It does not delegate the Audit Committee’s responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent auditor to management.

The independent auditor has reviewed this Policy and believes that implementation of this Policy will not adversely affect the auditor’s independence.

II. Delegation

As provided in the Act and the SEC’s rules, the Audit Committee may delegate either type of pre-approval authority to one or more of its members who are independent directors. Any member to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. In accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Audit Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to its chairman, since under the Audit Committee’s charter each member of the Audit Committee, including the chairman, is required to be an independent director.

III. Audit Services

The annual audit services engagement terms and fees will be subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit and other procedures required to be performed by the independent auditor to be able to form an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements. These other procedures include information systems and procedural reviews and testing performed in order to understand and place reliance on the systems of internal control, and consultations relating to the audit. The Audit Committee will monitor the audit services engagement as necessary, but no less than on a semiannual basis, and will also approve, if necessary, any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope, Fund structure or other items.

24

In addition to the annual audit services engagement approved by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval to other audit services, which are those services that only the independent auditor reasonably can provide. Other audit services may include statutory audits and services associated with SEC registration statements (on Forms N-1A, N-2, N-3, N-4, etc.), periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or other documents issued in connection with securities offerings.

The Audit Committee has pre-approved the audit services in Appendix A. All other audit services not listed in Appendix A must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

IV. Audit-Related Services

Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Fund’s financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor. Because the Audit Committee believes that the provision of audit-related services does not impair the independence of the auditor and is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval to audit-related services. Audit-related services include, among others, accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as “audit services”; assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; agreed-upon or expanded audit procedures related to accounting and/or billing records required to respond to or comply with financial, accounting or regulatory reporting matters; and assistance with internal control reporting requirements under Form N-SAR.

The Audit Committee has pre-approved the audit-related services in Appendix B. All other audit-related services not listed in Appendix B must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

V. Tax Services

The Audit Committee believes that the independent auditor can provide tax services to the Fund such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditor’s independence, and the SEC has stated that the independent auditor may provide such services. Hence, the Audit Committee believes it may grant general pre-approval to those tax services that have historically been provided by the auditor, that the Audit Committee has reviewed and believes would not impair the independence of the auditor, and that are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence. The Audit Committee will not permit the retention of the independent auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the independent auditor, the sole business purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committee will consult with the Fund’s Administrator or outside counsel to determine that the tax planning and reporting positions are consistent with this Policy.

Pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Audit Committee has pre-approved the tax services in Appendix C. All tax services involving large and complex transactions not listed in Appendix C must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee, including: tax services proposed to be provided by the independent auditor to any executive officer or director of the Fund, in his or her individual capacity, where such services are paid for by the Fund.

VI. All Other Services

The Audit Committee believes, based on the SEC’s rules prohibiting the independent auditor from providing specific non-audit services, that other types of non-audit services are permitted. Accordingly, the Audit Committee believes it may grant general pre-approval to those permissible non-audit services classified as all

25

other services that it believes are routine and recurring services, would not impair the independence of the auditor and are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.

The Audit Committee has pre-approved the “all other” services in Appendix D. Permissible “all other” services not listed in Appendix D must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

A list of the SEC’s prohibited non-audit services is attached to this Policy as Appendix E. The SEC’s rules and relevant guidance should be consulted to determine the precise definitions of these services and the applicability of exceptions to certain of the prohibitions.

VII. Pre-Approval Fee Levels or Budgeted Amounts

Pre-approval fee levels or budgeted amounts for all services to be provided by the independent auditor will be established annually by the Audit Committee. (Note that separate amounts may be specified for services to the Fund and for services to other affiliated entities that are subject to pre-approval.) Any proposed services exceeding these levels or amounts will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is mindful of the overall relationship of fees for audit and non-audit services in determining whether to pre-approve any such services. For each fiscal year, the Audit Committee may determine the appropriate ratio between the total amount of fees for audit, audit-related and tax services for the Fund (including any audit-related or tax services fees for affiliates that are subject to pre-approval), and the total amount of fees for services classified as “all other” services (including any such services for affiliates that are subject to pre-approval).

VIII. Procedures

All requests or applications for services to be provided by the independent auditor that do not require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Fund’s Administrator and must include a detailed description of the services to be rendered. The Administrator will determine whether such services are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will be informed on a timely basis of any such services rendered by the independent auditor.

Requests or applications to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the independent auditor and the Fund’s Administrator, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request or application is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.

The Audit Committee has designated the Fund’s Administrator to monitor the performance of all services provided by the independent auditor and to determine whether such services are in compliance with this Policy. The Administrator will report to the Audit Committee on a periodic basis on the results of its monitoring. Both the Administrator and any member of management will immediately report to the Chairman of the Audit Committee any breach of this Policy that comes to their attention.

IX. Additional Requirements

The Audit Committee has determined to take additional measures on an annual basis to meet its responsibility to oversee the work of the independent auditor and to assure the auditor’s independence from the Fund, such as reviewing a formal written statement from the independent auditor delineating all relationships between the independent auditor and the Fund, consistent with applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and discussing with the independent auditor its methods and procedures for ensuring independence.

(1) | In addition to the fees shown in the table, the Audit Committee has pre-approved the reimbursement of the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the independent accountant in providing the pre-approved services.

(2) | These affiliates include the Fund’s investment adviser (excluding sub-advisers) and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund. The Fund’s Audit Committee must pre-approve non-audit services provided not only to the Fund but also to the adviser and such other affiliated entities, where such entities provide ongoing services to the Fund and the independent accountant’s services to such entities have a direct impact on the Fund’s operations or financial reporting.

The comparable fee for this service for the fiscal year ended in 2016 was $75,600 for DNP, $55,150 for DPG, $57,300 for DUC and $55,150 for DTF. When the fee is determined in connection with the finalization and signing of the 2017 engagement letter, such fee will become part of this Pre-Approval Policy.

(4) | Fees for pre-approved services designated with a (4) shall either be included in the fee approved for item 1 of this Appendix A or may be separately charged, provided that the aggregate separate charges for all services designated with a (4) in Appendices A and B may not exceed 10% of the fee approved for item 1 of this Appendix A.

Common Questions about Notice and Access

Why am I receiving a Notice of Internet Availability instead of a Proxy card and Proxy statement?

Your fund has elected to utilize a distribution model authorized by the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2007. This model, known as Notice and Access, allows mutual funds and public companies to send you a Notice instead of a full set of printed proxy materials. As a shareholder, you can select the means by which you access those proxy materials. You can view the materials electronically via the Internet, or request a full set of printed materials for this Shareholder Meeting and all future meetings, or you can make that choice on a case by case basis.

How do I access the materials, set my preference for future shareholder meeting materials and record my vote?

On the front side of this Notice are easy to follow instructions on how to access Proxy materials electronically or request a full set of printed materials. Once you are on the website or ordering on the phone, you can also make your selection for future meetings.

When you are ready to vote, electronic voting is available by Internet or Touch Tone Phone by using the Control Number and Security Code on the front of this Notice. The Touch Tone voting phone number is different from the ordering phone number and is displayed on the website. If you want to vote via Mail, you will need to request a paper copy of the materials to receive a Proxy Card and Return Envelope.

If I request printed proxy materials, how long will it take for me to receive them?

The SEC rule requires that the materials be sent via first class mail within three business days of receipt of your request.
