Brooks Beittel, (312) 630-4692 DNP SELECT INCOME FUND INC. RECEIVES FAVORABLE IRS RULING CHICAGO, April 30, 2003 - DNP Select Income Fund Inc. (NYSE: DNP) announced today that the Internal Revenue Service has issued a favorable private letter ruling in response to the Fund's recent request. The private letter ruling confirms the Fund's ability to continue to designate dividends paid on the Fund's Remarketed Preferred Shares as eligible for the "dividends received deduction" for federal income tax purposes following a proposed amendment to the Fund's charter. As described in the Fund's Proxy Statement dated March 21, 2003, the Fund had requested the private letter ruling from the IRS regarding the tax treatment of the Fund's Preferred Shares in light of a proposed amendment to the provisions of the Fund's charter governing the Preferred Share remarketing process. Nathan I. Partain, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Fund, stated that: "We are pleased that the IRS has issued this ruling. This ruling, together, with the approval of the proposed amendment to the Fund's charter, will maintain the smooth operation of the Preferred Share remarketing process without interfering with the existing tax treatment of dividends paid on the Preferred Shares." Mr. Partain added, "For the reasons set forth in the Fund's Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors of the Fund has unanimously recommended that shareholders vote to approve the charter amendment. I urge all common and preferred shareholders who have not yet voted to cast their votes in favor of the amendment as soon as possible."
