NEW YORK -- (Business Wire)
The Central Europe and Russia Fund, Inc. (NYSE: CEE) (the “Fund”
or “CEE”) announced today the results of the Fund’s Special Meeting of
Stockholders held on April 19, 2013. Stockholders approved the proposed
change to the Fund’s investment objective from “seeking long-term
capital appreciation through investment primarily in equity and
equity-linked securities of issuers domiciled in Central Europe and
Russia” to “seeking long-term capital appreciation through investment
primarily in equity or equity-linked securities of issuers domiciled in
Central Europe, Russia and Turkey”. Stockholders also approved a change
in the Fund’s corresponding fundamental investment policy to provide
that, “under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of
its net assets (plus borrowings used for investment purposes) in
securities of issuers domiciled in Central Europe, Russia and Turkey.”
Consequently, the Fund is now able to invest in securities of issuers
domiciled in Turkey to a greater extent than previously.
Effective as of the close of business on April 26, 2013, the Fund’s name
will be changed to “The Central Europe, Russia and Turkey Fund, Inc.”
There will be no changes to the Fund’s ticker symbol on the New York
Stock Exchange or the CUSIP number for its shares. No action is required
by stockholders relating to this change.

Important Information
The Central Europe and Russia Fund, Inc. is a non-diversified,
closed-end investment company seeking long term capital appreciation
through investment primarily in equity or equity-linked securities of
issuers domiciled in Central Europe, Russia and Turkey.The Fund
is non-diversified and can take larger positions in fewer issues,
increasing its potential risk.Investing in foreign securities,
particularly those of emerging markets, presents certain risks, such as
currency fluctuations, political and economic changes, and market risks.Any fund that focuses in a particular segment of the market will
generally be more volatile than a fund that invests more broadly.
The shares of most closed-end funds, including the Fund, are not
continuously offered. Once issued, shares of closed-end funds are bought
and sold in the secondary market.Shares of closed-end funds
frequently trade at a discount to NAV.The price of such a fund’s
shares is determined by a number of factors, several of which are beyond
the control of the fund.Therefore, a fund cannot predict whether
its shares will trade at, below or above NAV.Investments in
funds involve risk. Additional risks of the Fund are associated with
international investing, such as government regulations and differences
in liquidity, which may increase the volatility of your investment.Foreign
security markets generally exhibit greater price volatility and are less
liquid than the US market.Additionally, the Fund focuses its
investments in certain geographical regions, thereby increasing its
vulnerability to developments in that region and potentially subjecting
the Fund’s shares to greater price volatility.Some funds have
more risk than others.These include funds, such as CEE, that
allow exposure to or otherwise concentrate investments in certain
sectors, geographic regions, security types, market capitalization or
foreign securities (e.g., political or economic instability,
which can be accentuated in emerging market countries).
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a
solicitation to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in
any state or jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation or sale
would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the laws
of such state or jurisdiction.
Certain statements contained in this release may be forward-looking
in nature.These include all statements relating to plans,

management’s current beliefs, based upon information available at thetime the statements are made, with regard to the matters addressed.Allforward-looking statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties that couldcause actual results to differ
