Dear Fellow Shareholders,
The value of your investment is at risk and your vote at the August 22nd shareholder meeting
of Madison Strategic Sector Premium Fund (MSP) has never been more important. An activist
shareholder, Karpus, is trying to replace two of our experienced trustees with its less qualified nominees.
We are contacting you again to ask you to VOTE with Management FOR the re-election of our two
trustees and voting AGAINST activist shareholder proposals 2 and 3, which we firmly believe would
damage or destroy your fund.
Two of the world’s leading independent proxy advisory firms, Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc.
and Glass Lewis recommend investors support ALL of Management’s recommendations and reject
those of the activist.
Stable, experienced leadership; consistent, above average returns, and dividends you can rely
on. To protect your investment, it is critical that you VOTE FOR our Trustee nominees and AGAINST
proposals 2 and 3.
Please vote online or by telephone using the instructions on the enclosed proxy card, or call our
proxy solicitor, Alliance Advisors, LLC at 1-855-976-3331 and they can take your vote over the phone!
Thank you.
Sincerely,
/s/ James R. Imhoff, Jr.
