Changes to Investment Policies Relating to Investments in
Non-U.S. Dollar Denominated Securities Announced
NEW YORK  (BUSINESS WIRE)  May 23, 2007
Western Asset Emerging Markets Floating Rate Fund Inc.
(NYSE: EFL), Western Asset Global Partners Income Fund Inc.
(NYSE: GDF), Western Asset High Income Fund Inc. (NYSE:HIF)
and Western Asset Worldwide Income Fund Inc. (NYSE: SBW)
today announced changes, to be effective as of June 1,
2007, to their non-fundamental investment policies relating
to the ability to invest in non-U.S. dollar denominated
debt.
Under the Funds amended investment policies approved by
the Boards of Directors, each Fund may invest up to 50% of
its total assets in non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities.
Previously, SBW had been limited to a maximum of 15% of its
assets in non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities, and EFL,
GDF and HIF could not invest in them at all.
The management of each Fund recommended to the respective
Fund's Board the revised investment policies.  On May 17,
2007, the Boards of the Funds approved this change in order
to provide Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisor, LLC, the
Funds investment manager, and Western Asset Management
Company, the Funds subadviser (Western Asset), greater
flexibility in making investment decisions, consistent with
the Funds investment objectives, after considering the
best interests of the Funds shareholders based upon
managements advice that the additional ability to invest
in non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities presents an
opportunity for investors and is an important risk
management tool to guard against a U.S. dollar that has
declined and may continue to do so in the future.
Investing in non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities
involves risks, including the risk that the Fund may be
limited in its ability to hedge the value of its non-U.S.
dollar-denominated investments against currency
fluctuations. As a result, a decline in the value of
currencies against the U.S. dollar will result in a
corresponding decline in the U.S. dollar value of the
Fund?s assets. These declines will, in turn, affect the
Fund?s income and net asset value.
The risks of investing in non-U.S. dollar-denominated
securities may be heightened to the extent a Fund invests
in securities denominated in the local currencies of
emerging markets countries.  The values of the currencies
of emerging markets countries may be subject to a high
degree of fluctuation due to changes in interest rates, the
effects of monetary policies issued by the United States,
foreign governments, central banks or supranational
entities, the imposition of currency controls or other
national or global political or economic developments.
Accordingly, a Fund?s exposure to the local currencies of
emerging markets countries may result in reduced returns to
the Fund.
Each Fund will compute and expects to distribute its income
in U.S. dollars, and the computation of income is made on
the date that the income is earned by the Fund at the
foreign exchange rate in effect on that date.  If the value
of the non-U.S. currencies in which a Fund receives its
income falls relative to the U.S. dollar between the
earning of the income and the time at which the Fund
converts the foreign currencies to U.S. dollars, the Fund
may be required to liquidate securities in order to make
distributions if the Fund has insufficient cash in U.S.
dollars to meet distribution requirements.  The liquidation
of investments, if required, may have an adverse impact on
a Funds performance.
To the extent a Fund invests in non-U.S. dollar-denominated
securities, changes in currency exchange rates will affect
the value of securities in the Fund?s portfolio and the
unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments.  In
addition to changes in the value of a Funds portfolio
investments resulting from currency fluctuations, the Fund
may incur costs in connection with conversions between
various currencies.  Foreign exchange dealers realize a
profit based on the difference between the prices at which
they are buying and selling various currencies.  Thus, a
dealer normally will offer to sell a foreign currency to a
Fund at one rate, while offering a lesser rate of exchange
should the Fund desire immediately to resell that currency
to the dealer.  Each Fund will conduct its foreign currency
exchange transactions either on a spot (i.e., cash) basis
at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency
exchange market, or through entering into forward, futures
or options contracts to purchase or sell foreign
currencies.
Currency exchange rates may be negatively impacted by rates
of inflation, interest rate levels, balance of payments and
governmental surpluses or deficits in the emerging markets
countries in which a Fund invests.  Foreign governments may
engage in certain techniques to control the value of their
local currencies.  Such techniques may include central bank
intervention, imposition of regulatory controls or the
imposition of taxes that may impact the exchange rates of
the local currencies in which the debt securities are
denominated.  Emerging markets countries may also issue a
new currency to replace an existing currency or may devalue
their currencies.  The liquidity and market values of a
Fund?s investments in non-U.S. dollar denominated
securities may be impacted by the actions of the
governments of the countries in which the Fund invests.
Each Fund may, from time to time, seek to protect the value
of some portion or all of its portfolio holdings against
currency risks by engaging in currency hedging
transactions.  Such transactions may include entering into
forward currency exchange contracts, currency futures
contracts and options on such futures contracts, as well as
purchasing put or call options on currencies, in U.S. or
foreign markets.  Currency hedging involves special risks,
including possible default by the other party to the
transaction, illiquidity and, to the extent Western Assets
view as to certain market movements is incorrect, the risk
that the use of hedging could result in losses greater than
if they had not been used.  In addition, in certain
countries in which the Funds may invest, currency hedging
opportunities may not be available.
Each of the Funds is a closed-end investment company
managed by Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisor, LLC, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Legg Mason, Inc., and sub-advised by
Western Asset Management Company, an affiliate of the
investment manager.
