Leading Independent Proxy Advisory Firms ISS and Glass Lewis Recommend Western Asset Global High Income Fund Inc. Shareholders Vote to Approve New Agreements Between the Fund and its Investment Manager and Subadvisers

Western Asset Global High Income Fund Inc. EHI (the "Fund") today announced that Institutional Shareholder Services ("ISS") and Glass Lewis & Co. ("Glass Lewis"), two of the leading independent proxy advisory firms, recommend that shareholders vote to approve the new agreements between the Fund and its investment manager and subadvisers.

With respect to the new management agreement, in their reports dated May 20, 2020, and May 21, 2020, respectively, ISS and Glass Lewis noted¹:

• "In addition to the fund's TSR² outperformance relative to peers over shorter- and longer-term periods, ending on the unaffected date, the fund's discount to NAV has been relatively in line with peers' discount over the last five years and had already begun to narrow prior to the dissident's public disclosures." ISS report dated May 20, 2020
• "Shareholders should note that the terms of the new management and subadvisory agreements are substantially identical to the terms of the current agreements, and that there will be no change to the existing management fee structure of each of the Funds as a direct result of these proposals." Glass Lewis report dated May 21, 2020

With respect to the new subadvisory agreement, in their reports dated May 20, 2020, and May 21, 2020, respectively, ISS and Glass Lewis noted¹:

• "As the dissident has not made a compelling case that change is warranted at this time, a vote FOR the proposals is warranted." ISS report dated May 20, 2020
• "Glass Lewis believes that the new investment sub-advisory agreement is in the best interests of shareholders, who should directly benefit from the services and duties of the Adviser." Glass Lewis report dated May 21, 2020

"We are pleased that ISS and Glass Lewis recognize that approval of the new agreements between the Fund and its investment manager and subadvisers is in the best interest of all shareholders," said Jane Trust, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Western Asset Global High Income Fund Inc. "The Fund's investment manager and subadvisers have enabled the Fund to outperform³ its benchmark⁴ and peers⁵ and increase distributions to shareholders. We encourage shareholders to follow the recommendation of the Fund's Board of Directors, ISS and Glass Lewis by voting "FOR" the new agreements to ensure the Fund continues to operate and deliver the returns they rely on."

The Western Asset Global High Income Fund Inc. management team has a proven track record of achieving the Fund's objectives, including:

• Delivering a 1-year annualized distribution³ of 9.56% as of April 30, 2020, an increase from 7.66% as of the same period in 2019
• Delivering 5- and 10-year annualized total returns³ of 3.80% and 6.03%, respectively, above its benchmark⁴ averages of 3.46% and 5.00% over the same time periods
• Outperforming³ Lipper Peer Group⁵ averages across key timeframes, including 1.14% vs. -1.39% on a 3-year basis, 3.80% vs. 2.24% on a 5-year basis, 2.21% vs. 1.30% on a 7-year basis, and 6.03% vs. 5.15% on a 10-year basis

The Fund's Board of Directors unanimously recommends that shareholders vote on the WHITE Proxy Card "FOR" the approval of the new management agreement for the Fund's manager and the new subadvisory agreement for the Fund's subadvisers. If shareholders do not approve these agreements, the Fund may be forced to liquidate. Liquidation could result in a meaningful loss of value as well as negative tax consequences for shareholders, particularly during this period of significant market volatility.
