RYE, N.Y.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--The Gabelli Global Multimedia Trust Inc. (NYSE:GGT) (the aFunda) has adjourned its Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Fund (the aMeetinga). A definitive date and time for the reconvened Meeting will be announced.

Following an investment presentation by Larry Haverty and Chris Marangi, Associate Portfolio Managers of the Fund, that included a discussion of the Funda™s efforts to grow net asset value (aNAVa), Carter Austin, Ombudsman of the Fund, discussed the initiatives adopted by the Board of Directors to enable the public market price of the Funda™s shares (NYSE:GGT) to more closely track the Funda™s NAV. Mr. Austin then reviewed the history of the Gabelli Equity Trust and its 10% distribution policy, which supports the price of the publicly traded shares that generally track the NAV. Mr. Austin then highlighted the Funda™s adoption of a 10% distribution policy and authorization to repurchase shares when the shares are trading at a discount of 5% or more from NAV, rather than the previous threshold of a discount of 10% or more.

Mario J. Gabelli, Chairman of the Board of the Fund, then announced that the Meeting would be adjourned to enable one of the Funda™s largest beneficial owners of shares who was not voting as the Board recommended on several proposals to more appropriately file with the SEC a Schedule 13D, in place of its previously filed Schedule 13G. Mr. Gabelli then stated that without those shares, a quorum was not present and the Meeting was adjourned.

The reconvened Meeting will be held no later than July 30, 2010 and the record date for the Meeting remains April 1, 2010.
