SunAmerica Closed-End Funds Announce Additional Information about Proposed Reorganizations into Open-End Funds

SunAmerica Focused Alpha Growth Fund, Inc. (NYSE: FGF) and SunAmerica Focused Alpha Large-Cap Fund, Inc. (NYSE: FGI) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) announced today that their respective Boards of Directors (each a “Board” and collectively, the “Boards”) have considered certain additional matters related to the proposed reorganization of each Fund into a new open-end fund (each an “Acquiring Fund” and together, the “Acquiring Funds”). The Funds had previously announced the proposed reorganizations (each a “Reorganization” and together, the “Reorganizations”) in a press release dated July 27, 2011.

Since that announcement, the Boards and the Board of Trustees of the Acquiring Funds have met to consider additional organizational and other matters related to the Acquiring Funds and the proposed Reorganizations. In connection with the consideration of these matters, it has now been determined that if a Reorganization is approved by shareholders, any redemptions and exchanges of shares of an Acquiring Fund issued pursuant to the Reorganization will be subject to a 1.00% redemption fee for a period of 90 days following the closing date of the respective Reorganization.

As previously announced, each Fund expects to convene a special meeting of the Fund’s shareholders on or about December 19, 2011 to consider the proposed Reorganizations. If approved by shareholders, the Reorganizations are expected to close in January 2012. Shareholder approval of each Reorganization is not contingent upon shareholder approval of the other Reorganization.

This press release is not intended to, and shall not, constitute an offer to purchase or sell shares of any of the Funds or Acquiring Funds; nor is this press release intended to solicit a proxy from any shareholder of a Fund.

There is no assurance that the Funds will achieve their investment objectives. The Funds are actively managed and their portfolio composition will vary. Investing in a Fund is subject to several risks, including: Non-Diversified Status Risk, Growth and Value Stock Risk (FGI only), Key Adviser Personnel Risk, Investment and Market Risk, Issuer Risk, Foreign Securities Risk, Emerging Markets Risk, Income Risk, Small and Medium Capitalization Company Risk (FGF only), Liquidity Risk, Market Price of Shares Risk, Management Risk, Anti- Takeover Provisions Risk and Portfolio Turnover Risk. The price of shares of each Fund traded on the New York Stock Exchange will fluctuate with market conditions and may be worth more or less than their original offering price. Shares of closed-end funds often trade at a discount to their net asset value, but may also trade at a premium.
