The Gabelli Global Multimedia Trust Inc. (NYSE:GGT) (the "Fund”)
will redeem 10% (100 shares) of its outstanding Series C Auction Rate
Cumulative Preferred Stock (the "Series C
Preferred Shares”) as authorized by the Board
of Directors of the Fund. The redemption date is November 19, 2008 and
the redemption price is $25,000 per Series C Preferred Share, which is
equal to the liquidation preference of the Series C Preferred Shares.
Dividends on the Series C Preferred Shares to be redeemed will cease to
accumulate on the redemption date. The Fund will use currently available
cash to fund this partial redemption.
Since the redemption date and a dividend payable date are both November
19, 2008, no accumulated but unpaid dividends will be included as a
component of the redemption price. The Series C Preferred Shares are
callable at any time at the liquidation preference of $25,000 per share,
together with any accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to the
redemption date.
The final auction date for the Series C Preferred Shares to be redeemed
is scheduled for November 10, 2008 with a dividend period ending on
November 18, 2008 and a dividend payable date of November 19, 2008. From
the business day immediately preceding the redemption date, the Series C
Preferred Shares to be redeemed will no longer be deemed outstanding,
and all the rights of the holders of Series C Preferred Shares with
respect to the Series C Preferred Shares to be redeemed will cease,
except the right to receive the redemption price.

account, as nominee for underlying beneficial owners (street name
shareholders), in turn determines the allocations of redeemed shares
among underlying beneficial owners. The procedures used by various
participant accounts to allocate redeemed shares among beneficial owners
may differ from other participant accounts as well as from procedures
used by DTC.
