Independent Proxy Advisory Firm Egan-Jones Recommends Stockholders Vote "FOR" Western Asset Global High Income Fund's Director Nominees

Egan-Jones is Third Major Independent Proxy Advisory Firm, following ISS and Glass Lewis, to Support the Fund's Director Nominees

Western Asset Global High Income Fund Encourages Stockholders to Vote "FOR" the Fund's Director Nominees on the WHITE Proxy Card Today

Western Asset Global High Income Fund Inc. EHI ("the Fund") today announced that independent proxy advisory firm Egan-Jones Proxy Services ("Egan-Jones") has recommended that stockholders vote "FOR" the Fund's director nominees – Eileen A. Kamerick and Robert D. Agdern – on the WHITE proxy card in connection with the Annual Meeting of Stockholders scheduled for 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on October 25, 2019. The Fund's director nominees have now received positive recommendations from all three independent proxy advisory firms, Institutional Shareholder Services ("ISS"), Glass Lewis & Co. ("Glass Lewis") and Egan-Jones.

In its report dated October 18, 2019, Egan-Jones noted¹:

• "… we believe that voting FOR the management nominees is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders."

• "As shown in the financials presented by the management, the Fund's current investment adviser and the Board have taken steps to achieve positive results and that the Fund has outperformed its peers in the Lipper group."

• "We believe that the incumbent directors and management nominees are the best in class to continue the execution of the Fund's primary investment objective to generate high current income."

• "We believe that the proxy fight initiated by Saba Capital will disrupt the current efforts of value creation for the shareholders as the dissident shareholders did not provide a comprehensive plan or an alternative for the Fund if its nominees are elected. This clearly demonstrates the lack of long-term plan and instead, the dissident shareholders' focus on the short-term which can be harmful to the interests of the shareholders."

"We are pleased that Egan-Jones has joined ISS and Glass Lewis in recommending that stockholders support the Fund's diverse, independent and highly-qualified director nominees," said Jane E. Trust, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Western Asset Global High Income Fund. "The support of all three leading independent proxy advisory firms reaffirms our belief that we have the right Board and strategy in place to continue delivering on our investment objectives of generating high current income and strong total returns. We urge stockholders to follow the recommendations of ISS, Glass Lewis and Egan-Jones and support the Board that is acting in their best interests."

The Board encourages stockholders to follow the unanimous recommendations from all three leading independent proxy advisory firms by voting "FOR" Eileen A. Kamerick and Robert D. Agdern on the WHITE proxy card today.
