President's Letter
 
Dear Shareholder,
 
I am pleased to present this annual report for the Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Closed-End Funds for the 12 months ended October 31, 2012. The report includes portfolio commentaries, listings of the Funds' investments and their audited financial statements for the reporting period.
 
Each Fund's investment objective is to provide a high level of current income exempt from regular federal income tax and, for each state-specific Fund, a high level of current income exempt from that state's personal income taxes (and, in the case of the New York Fund, New York City personal income tax).
 
We generally invest in intermediate-term municipal bonds because our experience and research indicate that this maturity range has historically offered the best risk/reward profile on the yield curve, providing much of the return of longer-term bonds with less volatility and risk. We believe that our conservative investment philosophy and disciplined investment process will benefit you with superior tax-exempt current income over the long term.
 
Thank you for your confidence in the Funds. We will continue to do our best to earn your trust in the years to come.
 
Sincerely,
 
 
Robert Conti
President And CEO
Neuberger Berman California Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc.

Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Closed-End Funds Portfolio Commentaries (Unaudited)
 
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2012, on a net asset value ("NAV") basis, all three of the Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Closed-End Funds posted positive returns and outperformed their benchmark, the Barclays 10 Year Municipal Bond Index. The California Intermediate Municipal Fund, Intermediate Municipal Fund, and New York Intermediate Municipal Fund posted 10.65%, 13.30% and 9.26% total returns, respectively, whereas the benchmark generated a 9.11% return. The use of leverage (typically a performance enhancer in up markets and a detractor during market retreats) was beneficial for performance as well.
 
The municipal market posted a solid return during the reporting period, with much of the return coming from market appreciation. Supporting the market were rising tax revenues, low defaults and some meaningful progress in the fiscal positions of numerous states. In addition, net new supply was low from a historical basis, whereas investor demand was typically strong. Looking at the municipal market more closely, lower-quality securities outperformed their higher-quality counterparts as investors looked to generate incremental yield in what appears to be an extended period of extremely low interest rates. In addition, longer-term securities outperformed shorter-term securities. The intermediate portion of the municipal curve produced mixed results over the 12-month period. However, intermediate-term municipal securities performed well overall, with the seven-year portion of the curve generating the best returns.
 
We tactically adjusted the Funds' durations several times during the reporting period. We started the period with a long duration versus the index and then generally allowed it to drift shorter in the first quarter of 2012. This adjustment was made because we anticipated some weakness in the market due to its extended rally and given seasonal weakness that typically occurs during tax season. In the second half of the reporting period, we then shifted to a longer duration and maintained this position for the remainder of the period. Overall, duration was positive for performance. In terms of the Funds' yield curve positioning, we maintained a barbell approach (investing in shorter and longer maturities). In contrast, the Funds' benchmark is concentrated in the eight- to 12-year portion of the curve. Given our underweight to the seven-year portion of the curve, the Funds' barbell approach detracted from relative results.
 
The Funds maintained a lower-quality bias compared to the benchmark as we sought to generate incremental yield. This was rewarded given the outperformance of lower-quality bonds during the reporting period. In addition, security selection generally contributed to results during the reporting period.
 
We have a generally positive outlook for the municipal market. In many ways, we believe the opportunities and the challenges in the market are similar to what we faced heading into the reporting period. The municipal yield curve continues to be steep from a historical perspective and we believe supply should remain manageable. In addition, with the economy expanding at a modest pace, we feel the Federal Reserve will hold rates at their current ultra-low levels for the foreseeable future. As such, we believe demand for municipal securities will be solid, especially given their compelling valuations versus other fixed income securities.
 
In terms of challenges, while we do not expect to see wholesale defaults, we do see the potential for a level of defaults above historic norms, as well as an increase in downgrade activity. Other areas that warrant our attention include the fiscal cliff and potential legislation regarding the tax-exempt status of municipal bonds. It is our view that the fiscal cliff will be resolved sooner rather than later. In light of the growing deficit in the U.S., there could be discussions in Washington DC regarding municipal bonds, but we do not anticipate seeing any meaningful changes to their tax-favored status. That being said, we could see periods of increased volatility in the municipal market in the coming months.
 
Sincerely,

Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continually offered. Generally, there is an initial public offering and, once issued, common shares of closed-end funds are sold in the open market through a stock exchange.
The performance data quoted represent past performance and do not indicate future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. For more current performance data, please visit www.nb.com.
The results shown in the table reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and other distributions, if any. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the sale of Fund shares.
Investment return and market price will fluctuate and common shares may trade at prices below NAV. Common shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Returns would have been lower if Neuberger Berman Management LLC ("Management") had not waived a portion of its investment management fees during the periods shown. Please see Note B in the Notes to Financial Statements for specific information regarding fee waiver arrangements.

†  
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC 820"), all investments held by each of Neuberger Berman California Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. ("California"), Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. ("Intermediate") and Neuberger Berman New York Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. ("New York") (each individually a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds") are carried at the value that Neuberger Berman Management LLC ("Management") believes a fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment under current market conditions. Various inputs, including the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability in the market, are considered in valuing the Funds' investments, some of which are discussed below. Significant management judgment may be necessary to value investments in accordance with ASC 820.
   
 
ASC 820 established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to create a classification of value measurements for disclosure purposes. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.
   
   
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
   
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, amortized cost, etc.)
   
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
   
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing an investment are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
   
 
The value of the Funds' investments in municipal securities is determined by Management primarily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on readily available bid quotations, or if quotations are not available, by methods which include various considerations such as yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions (generally Level 2 inputs). Other Level 2 inputs used by an independent pricing service to value municipal securities include current trades, bid-wanted lists (which informs the market that a holder is interested in selling a position and that offers will be considered), offerings, general information on market movement, direction, trends, and specific data on specialty issues.
   
 
Management has developed a process to periodically review information provided by independent pricing services for all types of securities.
   
 
If a valuation is not available from an independent pricing service, or if Management has reason to believe that the valuation received does not represent the amount a Fund might reasonably expect to receive on a current sale in an orderly transaction, the applicable Fund seeks to obtain quotations from principal market makers (generally considered Level 3 inputs). If such quotations are not readily available, the security is valued using methods the Fund's Board of Directors (each Fund's Board of Directors, a "Board") has approved on the belief that they reflect fair value. Numerous factors may be considered when determining the fair value of a security based on Level 2 or 3 inputs, including available analyst, media or other reports, trading in futures or ADRs and whether the issuer of the security being fair valued has other securities outstanding.
   
 
Fair value prices are necessarily estimates, and there is no assurance that such a price will be at or close to the price at which the security is next quoted or next trades.

Notes to Financial Statements Intermediate Municipal Closed-End Funds
 
Note A—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
 
1
General: The Funds were organized as Maryland corporations on July 29, 2002. California and New York are registered as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies and Intermediate is registered as a diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). Each Fund's Board may classify or re-classify any unissued shares of capital stock into one or more classes of preferred stock without the approval of shareholders.
   
 
The assets of each Fund belong only to that Fund, and the liabilities of each Fund are borne solely by that Fund and no other.
   
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires Management to make estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
   
2
Portfolio valuation: Investment securities are valued as indicated in the notes following the Funds' Schedule of Investments.
   
3
Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Interest income, including accretion of discount (adjusted for original issue discount, where applicable) and amortization of premium, where applicable, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the basis of identified cost and stated separately in the Statements of Operations.
   
4
Income tax information: It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its earnings to its shareholders. To the extent a Fund distributes substantially all of its earnings to shareholders, no federal income or excise tax provision is required.
   
 
The Funds have adopted the provisions of ASC 740 "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"). ASC 740 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax positions as an income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. The Funds are subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities for returns filed for the prior three fiscal years 2009 - 2011. As of October 31, 2012, the Funds did not have any unrecognized tax positions.
   
 
Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences, if any, are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by each Fund, timing differences, capital loss carryforwards expiring and differing characterization of distributions made by each Fund as a whole.
   
 
As determined on October 31, 2012, permanent differences resulting primarily from different book and tax accounting were reclassified at year end. Such differences may be attributed to one or more of the following: expiration of capital loss carryforwards and defaulted bond income adjustments. These reclassifications had no

 
29

 

effect on net income, net asset value ("NAV") or NAV per share of each Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Funds recorded the following permanent reclassifications:

The differences between book basis and tax basis distributable earnings are primarily due to: timing differences of distribution payments, timing differences of wash sales, capital loss carryforwards and for Intermediate and New York, defaulted bond income adjustments.
 
To the extent each Fund's net realized capital gains, if any, can be offset by capital loss carryforwards, it is the policy of each Fund not to distribute such gains. The Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") became effective for the Funds on November 1, 2011. The Act modernizes several of the federal income and excise tax provisions related to RICs. Among the changes made are changes to the capital loss carryforward rules allowing for RICs to carry forward capital losses indefinitely and to retain the character of capital loss carryforwards as short-term or long-term ("Post-Enactment"). Rules in effect previously limited the carryforward period to eight years and all carryforwards were considered short-term in character ("Pre-Enactment"). As determined at October 31, 2012, the following Funds had unused capital loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes to offset net realized capital gains, if any, as follows:
 
   
Pre-Enactment

Post-Enactment capital loss carryforwards must be fully used before Pre-Enactment capital loss carryforwards; therefore, under certain circumstances, Pre-Enactment capital loss carryforwards available as of the report date may expire unused.
   
 
During the year ended October 31, 2012, Intermediate and New York had capital loss carryforwards expire of $139,567 and $156,636, respectively.
   
5
Distributions to common shareholders: Each Fund earns income, net of expenses, daily on its investments. It is the policy of each Fund to declare and pay monthly distributions to common shareholders. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally distributed in December. Distributions to common shareholders are recorded on the ex-date. Distributions to preferred shareholders are accrued and determined as described in Note A-7.
   
 
On November 15, 2012, each Fund declared a monthly distribution to common shareholders payable December 17, 2012, to shareholders of record on November 30, 2012, with an ex-date of November 28, 2012 as follows:

Expense allocation: Certain expenses are applicable to multiple funds. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses borne by the complex of related investment companies, which includes open-end and closed-end investment companies for which Management serves as investment manager, that are not directly attributable to a particular investment company (e.g., a Fund) are allocated among the Funds and the other investment companies in the complex or series thereof on the basis of relative net assets, except where a more appropriate allocation of expenses to each of the investment companies in the complex or series thereof can otherwise be made fairly.
   
7
Financial leverage: On October 21, 2002, the Funds re-classified unissued shares of capital stock into several series of Auction Market Preferred Shares ("AMPS"), as follows:
 
   
Series A Shares
 
Series B Shares
 
California
 
1,500
 
1,500
 
Intermediate
 
4,000
 
4,000
 
New York
 
1,500
 
1,500

On December 13, 2002, the Funds issued several series of AMPS, as follows:
 
   
Series A Shares
 
Series B Shares
 
California
   
1,180
     
1,180
   
Intermediate
   
3,588
     
3,588
   
New York
   
965
     
965
   
 
All shares of each series of AMPS have a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share plus any accumulated unpaid distributions, whether or not earned or declared by a Fund, but excluding interest thereon ("Liquidation Value"). Distributions to AMPS shareholders, which are cumulative, are accrued daily. It is the policy of each Fund to pay distributions every 7 days for each Fund's AMPS Series A and every 28 days for each Fund's AMPS Series B, unless in a special rate period.
 
In the absence of a special rate period, distribution rates are reset every 7 days for each Fund's AMPS Series A, based on the results of an auction. For the year ended October 31, 2012, distribution rates ranged from:
 
   
Distribution Rate
 
California
 
0.11%  – 0.38%
 
Intermediate
 
0.11%  – 0.40%
 
New York
 
0.11%  – 0.38%
 
 
In the absence of a special rate period, distribution rates are reset every 28 days for each Fund's AMPS Series B, based on the results of an auction. For the year ended October 31, 2012, distribution rates ranged from:
 
   
Distribution Rate
 
California
 
0.11% – 0.34%
 
Intermediate
 
0.11%  – 0.34%
 
New York
 
0.11% – 0.36%
 
 
The Funds declared distributions to AMPS shareholders for the period November 1, 2012 to November 30, 2012 for each series of the AMPS as follows:
 
   
Series A Shares
 
Series B Shares
 
California

Since February 2008, the market for auction rate preferred securities has experienced an unprecedented number of failed auctions. In the Funds' regularly scheduled auctions, more AMPS were submitted for sale than there were offers to buy. This meant that these auctions "failed to clear," and that preferred shareholders who wanted to sell their AMPS in these auctions were unable to do so. When a failed auction of AMPS occurs, the distribution rate for AMPS resets to a maximum rate, which is 110% of the base rate (the base rate is the greater of an "AA" rated composite commercial paper rate or the taxable equivalent of a short-term municipal bond rate) as a result of the failed auctions. Although the failed auctions have resulted in a current lack of liquidity for preferred shareholders, they are not an event of default for the Funds nor have they affected the credit quality of the AMPS. The Funds have paid, and continue to pay, distributions on their AMPS that are set at the maximum rate as a result of the failed auctions. If auctions continue to fail and the maximum rate increases due to changes in short term interest rates, the Funds' returns for common shareholders could be adversely affected. The Funds continue to monitor the developments in the AMPS market.
 
The Funds may redeem shares of each series of AMPS, in whole or in part, on the second business day preceding any distribution payment date at Liquidation Value.
 

 
32

 
 
The Funds are also subject to certain restrictions relating to the AMPS. Failure to comply with these restrictions could preclude the Funds from declaring any distributions to common shareholders or repurchasing common shares and/or could trigger the mandatory redemption of AMPS at Liquidation Value.
   
 
The holders of AMPS are entitled to one vote per share and will vote with holders of common shares as a single class, except that the AMPS will vote separately as a class on certain matters, as required by law or a Fund's charter. The holders of a Fund's AMPS, voting as a separate class, are entitled at all times to elect two Directors of the Fund, and to elect a majority of the Directors of the Fund if the Fund fails to pay distributions on AMPS for two consecutive years.
   
8
Concentration of risk: The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments, including those particular to a specific industry or region. California and New York normally invest substantially all of their assets in municipal bonds of issuers located in the state of California and the state of New York, respectively. The value of each of these Funds' securities are more susceptible to adverse economic, political, regulatory or other factors affecting the issuers of such municipal bonds than a fund that does not limit its investments to such issuers.
   
9
Indemnifications: Like many other companies, the Funds' organizational documents provide that their officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, both in some of their principal service contracts and in the normal course of their business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide indemnifications to other parties for certain types of losses or liabilities. Each Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this could involve future claims against each Fund.
   
10
Arrangements with certain non-affiliated service providers: Each Fund has an expense offset arrangement in connection with its custodian contract. For the year ended October 31, 2012, the impact of this arrangement was a reduction of expenses of $499, $859 and $332 for California, Intermediate and New York, respectively.
   
 
In connection with the settlement of each AMPS auction, each Fund pays, through the auction agent, a service fee to each participating broker-dealer based upon the aggregate liquidation preference of the AMPS held by the broker-dealer's customers. For any auction preceding a rate period of less than one year, the service fee is paid at the annual rate of 1/4 of 1% for each successful auction, and up to 3/20 of 1% if the auction fails; for any auction preceding a rate period of one year or more, the service fee is paid at a rate agreed to by each Fund and the broker-dealer.
   
 
In order to satisfy rating agency requirements, each Fund is required to provide the rating agency that rates its AMPS a report on a monthly basis verifying that each Fund is maintaining eligible assets having a discounted value equal to or greater than the Preferred Shares Basic Maintenance Amount, which is a minimum level set by the rating agency as one of the conditions to maintain its rating on the AMPS. "Discounted value" refers to the fact that the rating agency requires each Fund, in performing this calculation, to discount portfolio securities below their face value, at rates determined by the rating agency. Each Fund pays a fee to State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") for the preparation of this report which is reflected in the Statements of Operations under the caption "Basic maintenance expense."
   
 
Note B—Management Fees, Administration Fees, and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
   
 
Each Fund retains Management as its investment manager under a Management Agreement. For such investment management services, each Fund pays Management a fee at the annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily Managed Assets. Managed Assets equal the total assets of the Fund, less liabilities other than the aggregate indebtedness entered into for purposes of leverage. For purposes of calculating Managed Assets, the Liquidation Value of any AMPS outstanding is not considered a liability.
 

 
 
33

 

In connection with the tender offer program, more fully described in Note E, Management had agreed to voluntarily extend for one year the contractual fee waivers that had been in place, so that the total effective fee waiver as a percentage of average daily Managed Assets for each Fund would be:
 
Year Ended
October 31,
 
% of Average
Daily Managed Assets
 
2012
     
0.05
   
 
For the year ended October 31, 2012, such waived fees amounted to $72,557, $235,336 and $61,731 for California, Intermediate and New York, respectively.
 
Each Fund retains Management as its administrator under an Administration Agreement. Each Fund pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.30% of its average daily Managed Assets under this agreement. Additionally, Management retains State Street as its sub-administrator under a Sub-Administration Agreement. Management pays State Street a fee for all services received under the agreement.
 
Neuberger Berman LLC ("Neuberger") is retained by Management to furnish it with investment recommendations and research information without added cost to the Funds. Several individuals who are officers and/or Directors of each Fund are also employees of Neuberger and/or Management.
 
Management and Neuberger are indirect subsidiaries of Neuberger Berman Group LLC (("NBG") and together with its consolidated subsidiaries ("NB Group")). NBSH Acquisition, LLC ("NBSH"), which is owned by portfolio managers, members of the NB Group management team and certain of NB Group's key employees and senior professionals, owns, as of September 30, 2012, approximately 57% of NBG's common units, and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("LBHI") and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively the "LBHI Parties") own the remaining 43% of such common units. Pursuant to agreements among NBG, NBSH and the LBHI Parties, NBG is entitled to acquire the remaining Class A common units through a process that is expected to end in 2017. In April 2012, NBG exercised its option (the "Redemption Agreement Option") to redeem during 2012 certain of its Class A common units held by the LBHI Parties equal to 10% of NBG's aggregate common units issued and outstanding as of March 16, 2012. The final payment for such Class A common units is due within thirty (30) days of December 31, 2012.

Note E—Tender Offer Program:
 
In 2009, each Fund's Board authorized a semi-annual tender offer program consisting of up to four tender offers over a two-year period (each, a "Tender Offer Program"). Under each Tender Offer Program, if a Fund's common shares traded at an average daily discount to NAV per share of greater than 10% during a 12-week measurement period, the Fund would have conducted a tender offer for between 5% and 20% of its outstanding common shares at a price equal to 98% of its NAV per share determined on the day the tender offer expired.
 
During the initial measurement period under its Tender Offer Program, each of Intermediate's and New York's common shares traded at an average daily discount to NAV per share of less than 10% and, therefore, in accordance with its Tender Offer Program, each of Intermediate and New York did not conduct a tender offer. During the initial measurement period under its Tender Offer Program, however, California's common shares traded at an average daily discount to NAV per share of greater than 10%. As a result, California conducted a tender offer for up to 10% of its outstanding common shares that commenced September 18, 2009 and ended October 16, 2009. Under the terms of the tender offer, on October 23, 2009, California accepted for purchase 611,942 common shares, representing approximately 10% of its then-outstanding common shares. Final payment was made at $14.15 per share, representing 98% of the NAV per share on October 16, 2009.
 
During each Fund's second measurement period under its Tender Offer Program, each Fund's common shares traded at an average daily discount to NAV per share of less than 10% and, therefore, in accordance with its Tender Offer Program, each Fund did not conduct a tender offer. During each Fund's third measurement period under its Tender Offer Program, each Fund's common shares traded at an average daily discount to NAV per share of less than 10% and, therefore, in accordance with its Tender Offer Program, each Fund did not conduct a tender offer. During each Fund's fourth and final measurement period under its Tender Offer Program, each Fund's common shares traded at an average daily discount to NAV of less than 10% and, therefore, in accordance with its Tender Offer Program, each Fund did not conduct a tender offer.
 
In connection with each Fund's adoption of its Tender Offer Program in 2009, Management agreed to voluntarily extend for one year the contractual fee waiver then in place for each Fund to offset some of the expenses associated with, or possible increases in each Fund's expense ratio resulting from, the tender offers (see Note B for additional disclosure). Those fee waivers have terminated. Each Board retained the ability, consistent with its fiduciary duty, to opt out of its Tender Offer Program should circumstances arise that the Board believed could cause a material negative effect on its Fund or its Fund's shareholders.
 
 
Note F—Recent Accounting Pronouncement:
 
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-11 Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities ("ASU 2011-11"). Effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods, ASU 2011-11 is intended to enhance disclosure requirements on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. At this time, Management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-11 and its impact on the financial statements.

Notes to Financial Highlights Intermediate Municipal Closed-End Funds
 
Total return based on per share NAV reflects the effects of changes in NAV on the performance of each Fund during each fiscal period. Total return based on per share market value assumes the purchase of common shares at the market price on the first day and sale of common shares at the market price on the last day of the period indicated. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed to be reinvested at prices obtained under each Fund's distribution reinvestment plan. Results represent past performance and do not indicate future results. Current returns may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Investment returns may fluctuate and shares when sold may be worth more or less than original cost. For each Fund, total return would have been lower if Management had not waived a portion of the investment management fee.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Neuberger Berman California Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc.
Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc.
Neuberger Berman New York Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Neuberger Berman California Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc., Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc., and Neuberger Berman New York Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. (the "Funds"), including the schedules of investments, as of October 31, 2012, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and the financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Neuberger Berman California Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc., Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc., and Neuberger Berman New York Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. as of October 31, 2012, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan
 
Computershare Shareowner Services LLC (the "Plan Agent") will act as Plan Agent for shareholders who have not elected in writing to receive dividends and distributions in cash (each a "Participant"), will open an account for each Participant under the Distribution Reinvestment Plan ("Plan") in the same name as their then current Shares are registered, and will put the Plan into effect for each Participant as of the first record date for a dividend or capital gains distribution.
 
Whenever the Fund declares a dividend or distribution with respect to the common stock of the Fund ("Shares"), each Participant will receive such dividends and distributions in additional Shares, including fractional Shares acquired by the Plan Agent and credited to each Participant's account. If on the payment date for a cash dividend or distribution, the net asset value is equal to or less than the market price per Share plus estimated brokerage commissions, the Plan Agent shall automatically receive such Shares, including fractions, for each Participant's account. Except in the circumstances described in the next paragraph, the number of additional Shares to be credited to each Participant's account shall be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend or distribution payable on their Shares by the greater of the net asset value per Share determined as of the date of purchase or 95% of the then current market price per Share on the payment date.
 
Should the net asset value per Share exceed the market price per Share plus estimated brokerage commissions on the payment date for a cash dividend or distribution, the Plan Agent or a broker-dealer selected by the Plan Agent shall endeavor, for a purchase period lasting until the last business day before the next date on which the Shares trade on an "ex-dividend" basis, but in no event, except as provided below, more than 30 days after the payment date, to apply the amount of such dividend or distribution on each Participant's Shares (less their pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan Agent's open-market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of such dividend or distribution) to purchase Shares on the open market for each Participant's account. No such purchases may be made more than 30 days after the payment date for such dividend or distribution except where temporary curtailment or suspension of purchase is necessary to comply with applicable provisions of federal securities laws. If, at the close of business on any day during the purchase period the net asset value per Share equals or is less than the market price per Share plus estimated brokerage commissions, the Plan Agent will not make any further open-market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of such dividend or distribution. If the Plan Agent is unable to invest the full dividend or distribution amount through open-market purchases during the purchase period, the Plan Agent shall request that, with respect to the uninvested portion of such dividend or distribution amount, the Fund issue new Shares at the close of business on the earlier of the last day of the purchase period or the first day during the purchase period on which the net asset value per Share equals or is less than the market price per Share, plus estimated brokerage commissions, such Shares to be issued in accordance with the terms specified in the third paragraph hereof. These newly issued Shares will be valued at the then-current market price per Share at the time such Shares are to be issued.
 
For purposes of making the reinvestment purchase comparison under the Plan, (a) the market price of the Shares on a particular date shall be the last sales price on the New York Stock Exchange (or if the Shares are not listed on the New York Stock Exchange, such other exchange on which the Shares are principally traded) on that date, or, if there is no sale on such Exchange (or if not so listed, in the over-the-counter market) on that date, then the mean between the closing bid and asked quotations for such Shares on such Exchange on such date and (b) the net asset value per Share on a particular date shall be the net asset value per Share most recently calculated by or on behalf of the Fund. All dividends, distributions and other payments (whether made in cash or Shares) shall be made net of any applicable withholding tax.
 
Open-market purchases provided for above may be made on any securities exchange where the Fund's Shares are traded, in the over-the-counter market or in negotiated transactions and may be on such terms as to price, delivery and otherwise as the Plan Agent shall determine. Each Participant's uninvested funds held by the Plan Agent will not bear interest, and it is understood that, in any event, the Plan Agent shall have no liability in connection with any inability to purchase Shares within 30 days after the initial date of such purchase as herein provided, or with the timing of any purchases effected. The Plan Agent shall have no responsibility as to the value of the Shares acquired for each Participant's account. For the

purpose of cash investments, the Plan Agent may commingle each Participant's funds with those of other shareholders of the Fund for whom the Plan Agent similarly acts as agent, and the average price (including brokerage commissions) of all Shares purchased by the Plan Agent as Plan Agent shall be the price per Share allocable to each Participant in connection therewith.
 
The Plan Agent may hold each Participant's Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan together with the Shares of other shareholders of the Fund acquired pursuant to the Plan in noncertificated form in the Plan Agent's name or that of the Plan Agent's nominee. The Plan Agent will forward to each Participant any proxy solicitation material and will vote any Shares so held for each Participant only in accordance with the instructions set forth on proxies returned by the Participant to the Fund.
 
The Plan Agent will confirm to each Participant each acquisition made for their account as soon as practicable but not later than 60 days after the date thereof. Although each Participant may from time to time have an undivided fractional interest (computed to three decimal places) in a Share, no certificates for a fractional Share will be issued. However, dividends and distributions on fractional Shares will be credited to each Participant's account. In the event of termination of a Participant's account under the Plan, the Plan Agent will adjust for any such undivided fractional interest in cash at the market value of the Shares at the time of termination, less the pro rata expense of any sale required to make such an adjustment.
 
Any Share dividends or split Shares distributed by the Fund on Shares held by the Plan Agent for Participants will be credited to their accounts. In the event that the Fund makes available to its shareholders rights to purchase additional Shares or other securities, the Shares held for each Participant under the Plan will be added to other Shares held by the Participant in calculating the number of rights to be issued to each Participant.
 
The Plan Agent's service fee for handling capital gains distributions or income dividends will be paid by the Fund. Participants will be charged their pro rata share of brokerage commissions on all open-market purchases.
 
Each Participant may terminate their account under the Plan by notifying the Plan Agent in writing. Such termination will be effective immediately if the Participant's notice is received by the Plan Agent not less than ten days prior to any dividend or distribution record date, otherwise such termination will be effective the first trading day after the payment date for such dividend or distribution with respect to any subsequent dividend or distribution. The Plan may be terminated by the Plan Agent or the Fund upon notice in writing mailed to each Participant at least 30 days prior to any record date for the payment of any dividend or distribution by the Fund.
 
These terms and conditions may be amended or supplemented by the Plan Agent or the Fund at any time or times but, except when necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law or the rules or policies of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other regulatory authority, only by mailing to each Participant appropriate written notice at least 30 days prior to the effective date thereof. The amendment or supplement shall be deemed to be accepted by each Participant unless, prior to the effective date thereof, the Plan Agent receives written notice of the termination of their account under the Plan. Any such amendment may include an appointment by the Plan Agent in its place and stead of a successor Plan Agent under these terms and conditions, with full power and authority to perform all or any of the acts to be performed by the Plan Agent under these terms and conditions. Upon any such appointment of any Plan Agent for the purpose of receiving dividends and distributions, the Fund will be authorized to pay to such successor Plan Agent, for each Participant's account, all dividends and distributions payable on Shares held in their name or under the Plan for retention or application by such successor Plan Agent as provided in these terms and conditions.
 
The Plan Agent shall at all times act in good faith and agrees to use its best efforts within reasonable limits to ensure the accuracy of all services performed under this Agreement and to comply with applicable law, but assumes no responsibility and shall not be liable for loss or damage due to errors unless such error is caused by the Plan Agent's negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct or that of its employees. These terms and conditions are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland.

Reinvested dividends and distributions are taxed in the same manner as cash dividends and distributions — i.e., reinvestment in additional Shares does not relieve shareholders of, or defer the need to pay, any income tax that may be payable (or that is required to be withheld) on Fund dividends and distributions. Participants should contact their tax professionals for information on how the Plan impacts their personal tax situation. For additional information about the Plan, please contact the Plan Agent at 1-866-227-2136 or 480 Washington Boulevard, Jersey City, NJ 07317.

Recent Market Conditions
 
The financial crisis in the U.S. and global economies over the past several years, including the European sovereign debt crisis, has resulted, and may continue to result, in an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets and the economy at large. Both domestic and international equity and fixed income markets have been experiencing heightened volatility and turmoil, with issuers that have exposure to the real estate, mortgage and credit markets particularly affected. It is uncertain how long these conditions will continue.
 
These market conditions have resulted in fixed income instruments experiencing unusual liquidity issues, increased price volatility and, in some cases, credit downgrades and increased likelihood of default. These events have reduced the willingness and ability of some lenders to extend credit, and have made it more difficult for borrowers to obtain financing on attractive terms, if at all. As a result, the values of many types of securities have been reduced, including, but not limited to, mortgage-backed, asset-backed and corporate debt securities. During times of market turmoil, investors tend to look to the safety of securities issued or backed by the U.S. Treasury, causing the prices of these securities to rise and the yield to decline.
 
The reduced liquidity in fixed income and credit markets may negatively affect many issuers worldwide. Illiquidity in these markets may mean there is less money available to purchase raw materials and goods and services, which may, in turn, bring down the prices of these economic staples. The values of some sovereign debt and of securities of issuers that
 
 
54

 

hold that sovereign debt have fallen. These events and the potential for continuing market turbulence may have an adverse effect on the Funds. In addition, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibilities that conditions in one country or region might adversely impact issuers in a different country or region.
 
Mortgage-backed securities have been especially affected by these market events. Beginning in 2008, the market for mortgage-related securities experienced substantially, often dramatically, lower valuations and greatly reduced liquidity. Markets for other asset-backed securities have also been affected. In the mortgage sector, there have been rising delinquency rates. These defaults have caused an unexpected degree of losses for lenders. Traditional market participants have been less willing to make a market in some types of debt instruments, which has affected the liquidity of those instruments. Illiquid investments may be harder to value, especially in changing markets. Some financial institutions and other enterprises may have large exposure to certain types of securities, such as mortgage-backed securities, which could have a negative effect on the broader economy. Events in the financial markets and the broader economy are continuing to erode the tax bases of many state and local governments, as well as their access to the credit markets. This has put downward pressure on the value of many municipal securities. Some traditional insurers of municipal securities have also experienced financial stress.

This has put downward pressure on the value of many municipal securities. Some traditional insurers of municipal securities have also experienced financial stress.
 
The U.S. federal government and certain foreign central banks have acted to calm credit markets and increase confidence in the U.S. and world economies. Certain of these entities have injected liquidity into the markets and taken other steps in an effort to stabilize the markets and grow the economy. The ultimate effect of these efforts is only beginning to reveal itself. Changes in government policies may exacerbate the market's difficulties and withdrawal of this support, or other policy changes by governments or central banks, could negatively affect the value and liquidity of certain securities.
 
The situation in the financial markets has resulted in calls for increased regulation, and the need of many financial institutions for government help has given lawmakers and regulators new leverage. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act") has initiated a dramatic revision of the U.S. financial regulatory framework that will continue to unfold over several years. The Dodd-Frank Act covers a broad range of topics, including (among many others) a reorganization of federal financial regulators; a process intended to improve financial systemic stability and the resolution of potentially insolvent financial firms; new rules for derivatives trading; the creation of a consumer financial protection watchdog; the registration and additional regulation of hedge and private equity fund managers; and new federal requirements for residential mortgage loans. Instruments in which the Funds may invest, or the issuers of such instruments, may be affected by the new legislation and regulation in ways that are unforeseeable. Many of the implementing regulations have not yet been finalized. Accordingly, the ultimate impact of the Dodd-Frank Act, including on the derivative instruments in which a Fund may invest, is not yet certain.
 
The statutory provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act significantly change in several respects the ways in which investment products are marketed, sold, settled or terminated. In particular, the Dodd-Frank Act mandates the elimination of references to credit ratings in numerous securities laws, including the 1940 Act. Certain interest rate and credit default swap derivatives have been and other derivatives may be mandated for central clearing under the Dodd-Frank Act, which likely will require technological and other changes to the operations of funds governed by the 1940 Act and the market in which they will trade. Central clearing will also entail the use of assets of 1940 Act funds to satisfy margin calls and this may have an effect on the performance of the funds. The regulators have not yet issued final regulations implementing all of the Dodd-Frank Act's margin requirements and clearing mandates, although they have issued final clearing determinations for certain interest rate and credit default swaps.
 
The regulators that have been charged with the responsibility for implementing these portions of the Dodd-Frank Act (i.e., the SEC and the CFTC) have been active in proposing and adopting regulations and guidance on the use of derivatives by 1940 Act funds. The CFTC recently adopted a revision to one of its rules that will either restrict the use of

 
55

 

derivatives by a 1940 Act fund so that, other than futures, options on futures, or swaps used for bona fide hedging purposes (as defined by the CFTC), the aggregate initial margin and premiums on these positions (after taking into account unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any such positions and excluding the amount by which options that are "in-the-money" at the time of purchase are "in-the-money") may not exceed 5% of a fund's net asset value, or alternatively, the aggregate net notional value of those positions may not exceed 100% of a fund's net asset value (after taking into account unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any such positions), or require the fund's adviser to register as a commodity pool operator. These CFTC changes will take effect at the end of this year. The SEC is reviewing its current guidance on the use of derivatives by 1940 Act funds and may issue new guidance. It is not clear whether or when such new guidance will be published or what the content of such guidance may be.
 
Because the situation in the markets is widespread, it may be difficult to identify both risks and opportunities using past models of the interplay of market forces, or to predict the duration of these market conditions.

Board Consideration of the Management and Sub-Advisory Agreements
 
At a meeting held on October 25, 2012, the Boards of the Funds, including the Directors who are not "interested persons" of Neuberger Berman Management LLC ("Management") (including its affiliates) or each Fund ("Independent Fund Directors"), approved the continuance of the Funds' Management and Sub-Advisory Agreements ("Agreements").
 
In evaluating the Agreements, the Boards, including the Independent Fund Directors, reviewed materials furnished by Management and Neuberger Berman LLC ("Neuberger") in response to questions submitted by counsel to the Independent Fund Directors, and met with senior representatives of Management and Neuberger regarding their personnel and operations. The Independent Fund Directors were advised by counsel that is experienced in Investment Company Act of 1940 matters and that is independent of Management and Neuberger. The Independent Fund Directors received a memorandum from independent counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuance of the Agreements. They met with such counsel separately from representatives of Management to discuss the annual contract review. The annual contract review extends over three regular meetings of the Boards to ensure that Management and Neuberger have time to respond to any questions the Independent Fund Directors may have on their initial review of the report and that the Independent Fund Directors have time to consider those responses. One of those meetings was devoted primarily to reviewing and discussing Fund performance.
 
Each Board considered the following factors, among others, in connection with its approval of the continuance of the Agreements for its Fund: (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Management and Neuberger; (2) the performance of the Fund compared to relevant market indices and a peer group of investment companies; (3) the costs of the services provided and profits or losses realized by Management and Management's affiliates from their relationship with the Fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the Fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect any such potential economies of scale for the benefit of investors in the Fund. In their deliberations, the members of each Board did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weights to the various factors.
 
Each Board evaluated the terms of the Agreements, the overall fairness of the Agreements to its Fund and whether the Agreements were in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
 
With respect to the nature, extent and quality of the services provided, each Board considered the performance of its Fund and the experience and staffing of the portfolio management personnel of Management and Neuberger who perform services for the Funds. The Boards noted that Management also provides certain administrative services, including fund accounting and compliance oversight. The Boards also considered Management's and Neuberger's policies and practices regarding allocation of portfolio transactions by Management. The Boards also reviewed whether Management and Neuberger used brokers to execute Fund transactions that provide research and other services to Management and Neuberger, and the types of benefits potentially derived from such services by Management, Neuberger, the Funds and other clients of Management and Neuberger. In addition, the Boards noted the positive compliance history of Management and Neuberger, as each firm has been free of significant reported compliance problems. As in past years, the Board also considered the manner in which Management addressed various non-routine matters that arose during the year, some of them a result of developments in the broader fund industry or the regulations governing it.
 
Each Board considered the performance of its Fund on both a market return and net asset value basis relative to the Fund's benchmark and the average performance of composite peer groups of closed-end investment companies pursuing broadly similar strategies. Each Board also reviewed during the period performance in relation to certain measures of the degree of investment risk undertaken by the portfolio managers. Each Board discussed with Management the Fund's performance and the steps that Management had taken, or intended to take, to improve its Fund's performance. Each Board also considered Management's resources and responsiveness with respect to the applicable Fund.
 
With respect to the overall fairness of the Agreements, each Board considered the fee structure under the Agreements as compared to a peer group of comparable funds and any fall-out benefits likely to accrue to Management or Neuberger or their affiliates from their relationship with the applicable Fund. The Boards also considered the profitability of Management and its affiliates from their association with the Funds.
 
 
58

 

Each Board reviewed a comparison of its Fund's management fee and overall expense ratio to a peer group of broadly comparable funds. With regard to the sub-advisory fee paid to Neuberger, the Boards noted that this fee is "at cost." In addition, each Board considered the mean and median of the management fees and expense ratios of its Fund's peer group. Where a Fund's management fee was higher than the peer group mean and/or median, the Board considered whether specific portfolio management or administration needs contributed to the management fee and noted that because different fund groups may include different services in their management and administration agreements, exact comparisons are difficult. In addition, each Board considered the contractual and voluntary waiver of a portion of the management fee undertaken by Management for its respective Fund.
 
The Boards considered whether there were other funds or separate accounts that were advised or sub-advised by Management or its affiliates with similar investment objectives, policies and strategies as the Funds. The Boards noted that there were no such comparable funds and/or separate accounts.
 
Each Board also evaluated any apparent or anticipated economies of scale in relation to the services Management provides to its Fund. The Boards considered that the Funds are closed-end bond funds that are not continuously offering shares and that, without daily inflows and outflows of capital, there are limited opportunities for significant economies of scale to be realized by Management in managing the Funds' assets.
 
In concluding that the benefits accruing to Management and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship to the Funds were reasonable in comparison with the costs of providing the investment advisory and other services and the benefits accruing to each Fund, each Board reviewed specific data as to Management's profit or loss on each Fund for a recent period. The Boards also carefully examined Management's cost allocation methodology. The Boards recognized that Management should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for services it provides to the Funds and, based on their review, concluded that Management's level of profitability was not excessive.
 
 
Conclusions
 
In approving the Agreements, each Board concluded that the terms of each respective Agreement are fair and reasonable to its Fund and that approval of the Agreements is in the best interests of the respective Fund and its shareholders. In reaching this determination, with respect to each Fund, the respective Board considered that Management and Neuberger could be expected to provide a high level of service to the Fund; that it retained confidence in Management's and Neuberger's capabilities to manage the Fund; that the Fund's fee structure appeared to the Board to be reasonable given the nature and quality of services provided; and that the benefits accruing to Management and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship to the Fund were reasonable in comparison with the benefits accruing to the Fund.

The Board has established a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act").  Its members are Martha C. Goss (Vice Chair), George W. Morriss (Chair), Tom D. Seip and Candace L. Straight.

Item 6. Schedule of Investments.

The complete schedule of investments for the Registrant is disclosed in the Registrant’s Annual Report, which is included as Item 1 of this Form N-CSR.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

The Board has delegated to Neuberger Berman Management LLC (“NB Management”) the responsibility to vote proxies related to the securities held in the Registrant’s portfolio. Under this authority, NB Management is required by the Board to vote proxies related to portfolio securities in the best interests of the Registrant and its stockholders. The Board permits NB Management to contract with a third party to obtain proxy voting and related services, including research of current issues.

NB Management has implemented written Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures (“Proxy Voting Policy”) that are designed to reasonably ensure that NB Management votes proxies prudently and in the best interest of its advisory clients for whom NB Management has voting authority, including the Registrant. The Proxy Voting Policy also describes how NB Management addresses any conflicts that may arise between its interests and those of its clients with respect to proxy voting.

NB Management’s Proxy Committee is responsible for developing, authorizing, implementing and updating the Proxy Voting Policy, overseeing the proxy voting process and engaging and overseeing any independent third-party vendors as voting delegate to review, monitor and/or vote proxies. In order to apply the Proxy Voting Policy noted above in a timely and consistent manner, NB Management utilizes Glass, Lewis & Co. (“Glass Lewis”) to vote proxies in accordance with NB Management’s voting guidelines.

NB Management’s guidelines adopt the voting recommendations of Glass Lewis.  NB Management retains final authority and fiduciary responsibility for proxy voting. NB Management believes that this process is reasonably designed to address material conflicts of interest that may arise between NB Management and a client as to how proxies are voted.

In the event that an investment professional at NB Management believes that it is in the best interests of a client or clients to vote proxies in a manner inconsistent with NB Management’s proxy voting guidelines or in a manner inconsistent with Glass Lewis recommendations, the Proxy Committee will review information submitted by the investment professional to determine that there is no material conflict of interest between NB Management and the client with respect to the voting of the proxy in that manner.

 
 

 

If the Proxy Committee determines that the voting of a proxy as recommended by the investment professional presents a material conflict of interest between NB Management and the client or clients with respect to the voting of the proxy, the Proxy Committee shall: (i) take no further action, in which case Glass Lewis shall vote such proxy in accordance with the proxy voting guidelines or as Glass Lewis recommends; (ii) disclose such conflict to the client or clients and obtain written direction from the client as to how to vote the proxy; (iii) suggest that the client or clients engage another party to determine how to vote the proxy; or (iv) engage another independent third party to determine how to vote the proxy.

Conflicts of Interest

Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a Portfolio Manager has day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to more than one fund or other account. The management of


 
 

 

multiple funds and accounts (including proprietary accounts) may give rise to actual or potential conflicts of interest if the funds and accounts have different or similar objectives, benchmarks, time horizons, and fees, as the Portfolio Manager must allocate his time and investment ideas across multiple funds and accounts.  A Portfolio Manager may execute transactions for another fund or account that may adversely impact the value of securities held by the Registrant, and which may include transactions that are directly contrary to the positions taken by the Registrant.  For example, a Portfolio Manager may engage in short sales of securities for another account that are the same type of securities in which the Registrant also invests.  In such a case, a Portfolio Manager could be seen as harming the performance of the Registrant for the benefit of the account engaging in short sales if the short sales cause the market value of the securities to fall.  Additionally, if a Portfolio Manager identifies a limited investment opportunity that may be suitable for more than one fund or other account, the Registrant may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity.  If one account were to buy or sell portfolio securities shortly before another account bought or sold the same securities, it could affect the price paid or received by the second account.  Securities selected for funds or accounts other than the Registrant may outperform the securities selected for the Registrant.  Finally, a conflict of interest may arise if NB Management and a Portfolio Manager have a financial incentive to favor one account over another, such as a performance-based management fee that applies to one account but not the Registrant or other accounts for which the Registrant’s Portfolio Manager is responsible.
 
NB Management, Neuberger Berman LLC and the Registrant have adopted certain compliance procedures which are designed to address these types of conflicts. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.
 
(a)(3) Compensation (as of October 31, 2012)

Neuberger Berman's compensation philosophy is one that focuses on rewarding performance and incentivizing its employees. Neuberger Berman is also focused on creating a compensation process that it believes is fair, transparent, and competitive with the market.

Compensation for Portfolio Managers consists of fixed and variable compensation but is more heavily weighted on the variable portion of total compensation and reflects individual performance, overall contribution to the team, collaboration with colleagues across Neuberger Berman and, most importantly, overall investment performance.  In particular, the bonus for a Portfolio Manager is determined by using a formula and may or may not contain a discretionary component.  If applicable, the discretionary component is determined on the basis of a variety of criteria, including investment performance (including the pre-tax three-year track record in order to emphasize long-term performance and in certain instances the one-year and five-year track records), utilization of central resources (including research, sales and operations/support), business building to further the longer term sustainable success of the investment team, effective team/people management, and overall contribution to the success of Neuberger Berman.  In addition, compensation of portfolio managers at other comparable firms is considered, with an eye toward remaining competitive with the market.

The terms of long-term retention incentives are as follows:

Employee-Owned Equity.  An integral part of the Acquisition (the management buyout of Neuberger Berman in 2009) was implementing an equity ownership structure which embodies the importance of incentivizing and retaining key investment professionals.

Most of the senior Portfolio Managers on the mutual fund teams are key shareholders in the equity ownership structure.  Currently, on a yearly basis, the equity ownership allocations will be re-evaluated and re-allocated based on performance and other key metrics.  Employee equity and preferred stock is subject to vesting and other terms and conditions.

 
 

 

Contingent Compensation Plan.  Neuberger Berman has also established the Neuberger Berman Group Contingent Compensation Plan pursuant to which a certain percentage of a Portfolio Manager’s compensation is deemed contingent and vests over a three-year period.  Under the plan, participating Portfolio Managers and other participating employees who are members of mutual fund investment teams will receive a cash return on their contingent compensation with a portion of such return being determined based on the team’s investment performance, as well as the performance of a portfolio of other investment funds managed by Neuberger Berman Group investment professionals.

Restrictive Covenants.  Portfolio Managers who have received equity interests have agreed to certain restrictive covenants, which impose obligations and restrictions on the use of confidential information and the solicitation of Neuberger Berman employees and clients over a specified period of time if the Portfolio Manager leaves the firm.

Other Accounts. Certain Portfolio Managers may manage products other than mutual funds, such as high net worth separate accounts.  For the management of these accounts, a Portfolio Manager may generally receive a percentage of pre-tax revenue determined on a monthly basis less certain deductions (e.g., a “finder’s fee” or “referral fee” paid to a third party).  The percentage of revenue a Portfolio Manager receives will vary based on certain revenue thresholds.
