                    EXPLANATORY NOTE


     This Amendment No. 1 to the Issuer Tender Offer
  Statement on Schedule TO ("Amendment No. 1") of the Delaware
  Group Global Dividend and Income Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"),
  hereby amends and supplements the Fund s Issuer Tender Offer
  Statement on Schedule TO originally filed with the Securities
  and Exchange Commission on June 1, 2000 (the "Statement"), in
  connection with a tender offer by the Fund to purchase up to
  10% of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock
  ("Common Stock"), par value $0.01 per share (the "Shares"),
  for cash at a price equal to the Fund s net asset value per
  share as of 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 30, 2000
  (the "Tender Offer"), upon the terms and subject to the
  conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated June 1,
  2000 (the "Offer to Purchase") and the related Letter of
  Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal").  Copies of the
  Offer to Purchase and Letter of Transmittal were previously
  filed as Exhibits (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) to the Statement.
  This Amendment No. 1 reports the results of the Tender Offer
  and constitutes the final amendment to the Statement pursuant
  to Rule 13e-4(c)(4) under the Securities Exchange Act of
  1934.

     The Tender Offer terminated at 5:00 p.m., New York City
  time, on June 29, 2000 (the "Expiration Date").  Pursuant to
  the Tender Offer, 1,319,294.659 Shares, or approximately 20%
  of the Fund's Common Stock as of the Expiration Date, were
  validly tendered and not withdrawn.  In accordance with the
  terms and conditions of the Tender Offer, the Fund has
  accepted for payment 665,065 Shares or 10% of its Common
  Stock, at a price equal to $12.93 per share, the Fund's net
  asset value per share as of 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on
  June 30, 2000, for an aggregate purchase price of
  $8,599,290.40.  Since more than 10% of the Fund's Common
  Stock was validly tendered and not withdrawn, the Fund
  purchased Shares from all tendering shareholders on a pro
  rata basis (at a ratio of approximately 0.504%).  Payment for
  the Shares was mailed prior to the date hereof.  The Schedule
  TO is hereby terminated.
