<p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" size="2"><b>General.</b></font><font face="Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" size="2">  This Proxy Statement is being furnished by the Board of Trustees (at times, the "Board") of the Alpine Total Dynamic Dividend Fund (the "Fund" or the "Trust"), to the shareholders of the Fund, in connection with the Fund's solicitation of shareholders' proxies for use at its Annual Meeting (the "Meeting") scheduled to be held March 12, 2009, at 11:30 a.m., Eastern Time, at 707 Westchester Avenue, White Plains, New York, 10604, for the purposes set forth below and in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting. The approximate mailing date of this Proxy Statement to shareholders is January 30, 2009. At the Meeting, the shareholders of the Fund will be asked:</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" size="2">1.&nbsp;&nbsp;To elect Messrs. Laurence B. Ashkin and Samuel A. Lieber as Trustees to the Board of Trustees until their successor has been duly elected and qualified.</font></p>

<p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" size="2"><b>Record Date/Shareholders Entitled to Vote.</b></font><font face="Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" size="2">  The Fund is a closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company Act"). The record holders of outstanding shares of the Fund are entitled to vote one vote per share (and a fractional vote per fractional share) on all matters presented at the Meeting. Shareholders of the Fund at the close of business on January 12, 2009 will be entitled to be present and vote at the Meeting. As of that date, there were 212,103,901 shares of the Fund outstanding and entitled to vote, representing total net assets of approximately $1,454,694,840.</font></p>

You can do this by either voting over the internet or completing, dating, signing and returning the enclosed proxy card. Properly executed proxies will be voted as you instruct by the persons named in the accompanying proxy statement. In the absence of such direction, however, the persons named in the accompanying proxy statement intend to vote "</font><font face="Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" size="2"><b>FOR</b></font><font face="Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" size="2">" the election of Messrs.

<p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" size="2">proxies may revoke them at any time before they are voted, either by writing to the Secretary of the Trust, Oliver Sun, c/o Alpine Woods Capital Investors, LLC, 2500 Westchester Avenue, Suite 215, Purchase, New York 10577, or in person at the time of the Meeting. If not so revoked, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted at the Meeting, and any adjournments thereof, as instructed. Attendance by a shareholder at the Meeting does not, in itself, revoke a proxy.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" size="2">The election of a Trustee to the Board of Trustees requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares of beneficial interest entitled to vote for the election of any Trustee present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting with a quorum present. For purposes of the election of Trustees, abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as shares present for quorum purposes, but will not be treated as votes cast. Abstentions and broker non-votes, therefore, will have no effect on the election of Messrs. Ashkin and Lieber as a Trustee. All properly executed proxies received prior to the Meeting will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the instructions marked thereon. Proxies received prior to the Meeting on which no vote is indicated will be voted "FOR" the election of Messrs. Ashkin and Lieber as Trustees.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" size="2"><b>Quorum Required to Hold Meeting.</b></font><font face="Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" size="2">  In order to transact business at the Meeting, a "quorum" must be present. Under the Trust's Agreement and Declaration of Trust, a quorum is constituted by the presence in person or by proxy of shareholders representing a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund on the record date entitled to vote on a matter.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" size="2">Abstentions and broker non-votes (i.e., proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that they have not received instructions from the beneficial owners on an item for which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power to vote) will be treated as present for determining whether a quorum is present with respect to a particular matter. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not, however, be treated as votes cast at the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, therefore, will have no effect on proposals which require a plurality or majority of votes cast for approval, but will have the same effect as a vote "against" on proposals requiring any percentage of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund for approval.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" size="2">If a quorum of shareholders of the Fund is not present at the Meeting, or if a quorum is present but sufficient votes to elect Messrs. Ashkin and Lieber as Trustees are not received, the shareholders present at the Meeting or the persons named as proxies shall have the power, but are under no obligation, to propose an adjournment of the Meeting without further notice other than announcement at the Meeting until such quorum shall be present. The shareholders entitled to cast not less than a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting on a matter shall also have the power to adjourn the Meeting.

With respect to the election of Messrs. Ashkin and Lieber as Trustees, the persons named as proxies will vote all proxies in favor of adjournment that voted in favor of the election, and vote against adjournment all proxies that voted against such election. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect at any adjourned meeting as noted above. Any business that might have been transacted at the Meeting may be transacted at any such adjourned session(s) at which a quorum is present.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" size="2"><b>Method and Cost of Proxy Solicitation.</b></font><font face="Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" size="2">  Proxies will be solicited by the Trust primarily via the internet or mail. Although it is not anticipated, the solicitation may also include telephone, facsimile, electronic or oral communications by certain officers or employees of the Fund, Alpine Woods Capital Investors, LLC (the "Investment Adviser"), or ALPS Fund Services, Inc. ("ALPS"), the Fund's administrator, who will not be paid for these services. The Fund, the Investment Adviser or ALPS may also request broker-dealer firms, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward proxy materials to the beneficial owners of the shares of the Fund held of record by such persons. If requested, the Fund shall reimburse such broker-dealer firms, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such proxy solicitation, 
including reasonable expenses in communicating with persons for whom they hold shares of the Fund.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" size="2"><b>Internet Availability of Proxy Materials.</b></font><font face="Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" size="2">  As permitted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") the Fund is furnishing proxy materials to our shareholders on the internet, rather than mailing paper copies to each shareholder. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials ("Notice") tells you how to access and review the proxy materials and vote your shares over the internet. The Notice of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders or the Proxy Statement with the accompanying proxy card, were mailed to shareholders on or about January 30, 2009.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" size="2"><b>Delivery of Proxy to Security Holders Sharing an Address.</b></font><font face="Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times" size="2">  Only one proxy statement is being delivered to multiple security holders sharing the same address. If requested, the Fund shall provide a proxy statement to each security holder sharing an address. Such security holders requesting individual proxy statements may call 1-800-617-7616 to place their request.</font></p>
