| SUBJECT: | NYSE CUSIP Change |
Beginning on trade date 10/27/04, Solomon Brothers Variable Rate Strategic Fund Inc. symbol GFY CUSIP 79550W107 began trading on the NYSE. NSCC was provided with an incorrect CUSIP of 79550W107 for this security. This incorrect CUSIP was applied to our security masterfile. The correct CUSIP is 79550X105.
NSCC will be updating its files to reflect the correct CUSIP for symbol GFY with an effective date of 10/28/04.
All trades executed in GFY on trade date 10/27/04 with a settlement date of 11/1/04 will be recorded and reported to participants with the incorrect CUSIP of 79550W107. Participants are advised that for settlement date 11/1/04, NSCC, through its CNS Reorganization System, will swing all net positions as a result of these trades from CUSIP 79550W107 to CUSIP 79550X105. CNS allocations for these trades will settle in CNS under CUSIP 79550X105.
Participants are advised that no action is required by them to effect this change in CNS.
Any questions should be directed to your relationship manager.
