Bulldog Investors, LLC (“Bulldog”) today announced that it has reached a settlement agreement with BrandywineGLOBAL-Global Income Opportunities Fund (NYSE: BWG) regarding shareholder approval of a new management agreement between BWG and Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisor, LLC.

The settlement agreement provides for, among other things, BWG to conduct a self-tender offer for 20% of its outstanding shares of common stock at a price of 99.5% of net asset value (“NAV”) as soon as practicable as determined by the Board of Directors. The complete settlement agreement will be included in a filing made with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
