Fund Overview
The DNP Select Income Fund Inc. (NYSE: DNP) is a diversified, closed-end management investment company that first offered its common stock to the public in January 1987. The Fund's primary investment objectives are current income and long-term growth of income. Capital appreciation is a secondary objective. DNP has outstanding Floating Rate Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Shares (MRPS), secured borrowings and secured notes to leverage the common stockholders' investment.
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity and fixed income securities of companies in the public utilities industry. The Fund's investment strategies have been developed to take advantage of the income and growth characteristics, and historical performances of securities of companies in the public utilities industry.
Under normal conditions, more than 65% of the Fund's total assets will be invested in securities of public utility companies engaged in the production, transmission or distribution of electric energy, gas or telephone services.
The Fund may invest in the securities of domestic and foreign issuers as well as in securities of companies of any market capitalization, including small and mid cap common and preferred stocks. The Fund may not invest more than 25% of its total assets (valued at the time of investment) in securities of companies engaged principally in any one industry other than the public utilities industry, nor have more than 20% invested in foreign issuers. The Fund will purchase a fixed income security only if, at the time of purchase, it is rated investment grade by at least two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations.

Common Shares Dividend Distribution Information
The distributions listed in the table below reflect the amount of cash payment per share. A portion of the cash distribution represents return of capital. Any portion of the Fund’s distribution that is a return of capital does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income”. SEC 19(a) Shareholder Notices are available on this website on the page labeled “Reports & Notices”. Each 19(a) Shareholder Notice provides an estimate of the sources of each distribution based on U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which may differ from federal income tax regulations. On the webpage labeled “Tax Information”, we have posted the annual Tax Information Letter for each calendar year that informs shareholders of the sources of distributions for federal income tax purposes.

Shareholder Communications
The board of directors has adopted the following procedures for shareholders to send communications to the board of directors. Shareholders may mail written communications to the full board, to committees of the board or to specified individual directors in care of the Secretary of the Fund, 10 South Wacker Drive, 19th Floor, Chicago, IL 60606.

Important Risk Considerations
Equity Securities: The market price of equity securities may be adversely affected by financial market, industry, or issuer-specific events. A fund that focuses its investments in a particular industry or sector will be more sensitive to conditions that affect that industry or sector.
Credit and Interest: Debt securities are subject to various risks, the most prominent of which are credit and interest rate risk. The issuer of a debt security may fail to make interest and/or principal payments. Values of debt securities may rise or fall in response to changes in interest rates, and this risk may be enhanced with longer term maturities.
Preferred Stocks: Preferred stocks may decline in price, fail to pay dividends, or be illiquid.
MLPs: Investments in Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) may be adversely impacted by tax law changes, regulation, or factors affecting underlying assets.
Foreign Investing: Investing internationally involves additional risks such as currency, political, accounting, economic, and market risk.
No Guarantee: There is no guarantee that the portfolio will meet its objective.
Leverage: When a fund leverages its portfolio, the value of its shares may be more volatile and all other risks may be compounded.
Market Volatility: Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issue, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the fund and its investments, including hampering the ability of the fund's portfolio manager(s) to invest the fund's assets as intended.
