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 13, 2018 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.

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 eight 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.

Election of DNP Directors (Proposal 1a.)

At the meeting, holders of DNP common stock are entitled to elect three directors for a term ending in 2021 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 directors representing the 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. The holders of DNP preferred stock are not entitled to elect any directors at this meeting.

Election of DPG Directors (Proposal 1b.)

At the meeting, holders of DPG common and preferred stock, voting as a single class, are entitled to elect three directors for a term ending in 2021 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 directors representing the common and preferred 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 DUC Directors (Proposal 1c.)

At the meeting, holders of DUC common stock are entitled to elect three directors for a term ending in 2021 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.

2

Election of DTF Directors (Proposal 1d.)

At the meeting, holders of DTF common and preferred stock, voting as a single class, are entitled to elect three directors for a term ending in 2021 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 directors representing the common and preferred 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.

Biographical Information about Nominees and Continuing Directors

Set forth in the table below are the names and certain biographical information about the nominees for the position of director and the continuing directors of the Funds. Except as noted:

| • |  | all of the directors are elected to the DNP Board by the holders of DNP common stock voting as a separate class;

| • |  | all of the directors are elected to the DPG Board by the holders of DPG common and preferred stock voting as a single class;

| • |  | all of the directors are elected to the DTF Board by the holders of DTF common and preferred stock voting as a single class.

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.

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 of the Board is comprised of Mr. Vitale (Chairman), Mr. Burke, Ms. Moran and Ms. McNamara, 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 the Fund (Mr. Burke, 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 the 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 the Fund (Ms. McNamara, Chairperson) 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, 2017, the DNP Board met four times; the DNP audit committee met two times; the DNP nominating and governance committee met two times; the DNP contracts committee met two times; and the DNP executive committee did not meet or act by written consent. During DPG’s fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, the DPG Board met four times; the DPG audit committee met two times; the DPG nominating and governance committee met two 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, 2017, the DUC Board met four times; the DUC audit committee met two times; the DUC nominating and governance committee met two times; the DUC contracts committee met two times; and the DUC executive committee did not meet or act by written consent. During DTF’s fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, the DTF Board met four times; the DTF audit committee met two times; the DTF nominating and governance committee met two times; the DTF contracts committee met two times; and the DTF executive committee did not meet or act 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 composed of at least three directors—the committee is currently comprised of all independent directors of the Fund—and acts under a written charter that was most recently amended on December 14, 2016. 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. See also “Shareholder Proposals and Nominations” under “Other Information” below.

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;

| • |  | the interplay of the candidate’s skills and experience with the skills and experience of other Board members;

| • |  | whether the candidate is willing to commit the time necessary to attend meetings and fulfill the responsibilities of a director; and

| • |  | the candidate’s personality traits, including integrity, independence, leadership, sound business judgment and the ability to work effectively with the other members of the Board.

With respect to the renomination of incumbent directors, past service to the Board is also considered.

10

Retirement Policy. The bylaws of the Funds provide that no person shall stand for election or reelection as a director of the Funds if that person would be 75 years old or older at the date of the proxy statement for the shareholder meeting at which such election would take place, unless such person’s candidacy shall have been approved by a unanimous vote of all of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present (other than any director whose candidacy is being approved). No current nominee for election as a director of the Funds is 75 years or older as of the date of this proxy statement.

Officers of the Funds

The officers of the Funds are elected at the annual meeting of the Board held in connection with the annual meeting of shareholders. The officers receive no compensation from the Funds, but are also officers of the Adviser or a Fund administrator and receive compensation in such capacities. Information about Nathan I. Partain, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Funds, is provided above under the caption “Continuing Director—Interested Director.” The address for all officers listed below is c/o Duff & Phelps Investment Management Co., 200 South Wacker Drive, Suite 500, Chicago, Illinois 60606, except as noted.

(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

14

| 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 91, 95 and 91 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 three nominees for director named above.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance.

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 with respect to DNP, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company filed late Form 3 statements for events occurring on February 19, 2014, on July 9, 2014 and on July 22, 2016.

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 2017 audited financial statements, the audit committee: (1) reviewed and discussed each Fund’s 2017 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, 2018. A representative of Ernst & Young is expected to be present at 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.

Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services. Each Fund is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm. As part of this responsibility, each Fund’s audit committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent accountant in order to assure that they do not impair the independent accountant’s independence from the Fund. Accordingly, each Fund’s audit committee has adopted a joint audit and non-audit services pre-approval policy (the “Joint Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy”), which sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services proposed to be performed by the independent accountant may be pre-approved. Each engagement of an independent accountant to render audit or non-audit services to a Fund must be either (i) a specific service 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) come within the scope of a general pre-approval granted under the Joint Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy. As provided in the Joint Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy, unless a type of service has received general pre-approval (i.e., the proposed services are pre-approved without consideration of specific case-by-case services by the audit committee), then the service will require specific pre-approval by the audit committee if the proposed service is to be provided by the independent accountant. As provided in the Joint Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy, any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts require specific pre-approval by the audit committee. In deciding whether to grant pre-approval for such services, the audit committee, or the chairman of the audit committee acting under delegated authority, as the case may be, will consider whether such services are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence. Additionally, the audit committee, or the chairman of the audit committee acting under delegated authority, as the case may be, will also consider whether the independent accountant is best positioned to provide the most effective and efficient service, after considering a number of factors as a whole, with no one factor being necessarily determinative.

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 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

21

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 14, 2017 joint annual meeting of the Funds’ shareholders were in attendance at that meeting.

Shareholder Proposals and Nominations. In order for any shareholder proposal or director nomination to be considered for inclusion in any Fund’s proxy statement and form of proxy for the 2019 annual meeting of shareholders, such proposal or nomination must be received by the Secretary of the Fund no later than Monday, October 1, 2018. 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 2019 annual meeting which confer discretionary authority to vote on any shareholder proposals of which the Secretary of the Fund does not receive notice by Monday, December 17, 2018. Any notice of a shareholder proposal or director nomination must conform to the requirements in the Fund’s bylaws. Copies of the bylaws of any of the Funds may be requested from the Secretary of the Funds, 200 S. Wacker Drive, Suite 500, Chicago, Illinois 60606.

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 (833) 604-3163 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.

General. A list of shareholders of each Fund entitled to be present and vote at the annual meeting will be available at the offices of the Funds, 200 S. Wacker Drive, Suite 500, Chicago, Illinois 60606, for inspection by any shareholder during regular business hours for ten days prior to the date of the meeting.

Failure of a quorum of shareholders of any of the Funds to be present at the annual meeting will necessitate adjournment of the meeting with respect to those Funds and will give rise to additional expense.

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.
