The Fund significantly outperformed its peers on a net asset value basis, but lagged its peers on a market price basis. In addition, the Fund underperformed the Index, in large part due to its underweight to shorter-term (five-year) municipal bond issues. The Fund’s exposure to certain lower-quality investment grade securities also detracted from returns—as did investments subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT). Over the longer term, however, we continue to believe the Fund will likely be compensated for the additional credit risk and tax features that these securities entail.
 
The Fund’s use of leverage over the period helped it generate a higher yield for common stockholders. It also contributed positively to overall results, as the municipal market generated a positive return during the reporting period. As of March 31, 2009, leverage accounted for 42.9% of the Fund’s total assets. Leverage magnifies returns on both the upside and on the downside.
 
As of March 31, 2009, the Fund was trading at a discount of 12.7%, while the median discount of its Lipper peer group was 7.9%. A fund

trades at a discount when the market price at which its shares trade is less than its net asset value. Alternately, a fund trades at a premium when the market price at which its shares trade is more than its net asset value per share. The market price is the price the market is willing to pay for shares of a fund at a given time, and may be influenced by a range of factors, including supply and demand and market conditions. Net asset value per share is determined by dividing the value of the Fund’s securities, cash and other assets, less all liabilities, by the total number of common shares outstanding.
 
During the reporting period, the Fund continued to have outstanding auction preferred shares (“APS”). As we wrote in the Fund’s previous shareholder report, auction preferred shares, which are a type of preferred stock issued by many closed-end funds, are used to leverage the Fund’s investments (that is, buy more municipal securities). In utilizing leverage, the Fund sought to generate incremental yields and returns for the Fund’s common shareholders. (For purposes of clarification, purchasers of APS in a closed-end fund are known as “preferred shareholders,” while the remaining investors are known as “common shareholders.”)
 
Throughout the reporting period, APS auctions continued to “fail” as existing holders of APS looking to sell their shares through the auction process were unable to do so due to insufficient buy orders. We’d like to again point out that these failed auctions were not “credit events” for the Fund. In other words, they weren’t caused by, nor did they result in, a default by the Fund. Rather, they were liquidity events that impacted a closed-end fund’s preferred and common shareholders differently.
 
In the previous shareholder report, we noted that the Fund had engaged in a partial redemption of APS in September. The September redemption was coordinated with the implementation of a Tender Option Bond (“TOB”) program as an alternative source of leverage to replace the redeemed APS, leaving the overall amount of leverage roughly unchanged. This also had the benefit of diversifying potential sources of leverage.
 
At the end of 2008, the Fund engaged in another partial redemption of APS, approximately 11.1% of its total outstanding APS at that time. This second partial redemption decreased the level of the Fund’s leverage. The decrease helped to ensure that the Fund would continue to meet its asset coverage requirements in the difficult market environment, which is key to the ability of a closed-end fund to continue paying dividends on its common stock. This also helped adjust the amount of leverage to current market opportunities.

An interview with Portfolio Manager Kevin McIntyre
Q.   How would you describe the economic environment during the reporting period?
A.   When the reporting period began, there continued to be hope that if the US fell into a recession, it would be modest and brief. By the end of the period, the question was no longer if a recession would occur, it was how long it would last and how severe it was going to be.
     
    Following a sharp decline in personal spending, the intensification of the credit crunch and ongoing housing market weakness, gross domestic product (GDP) declined 0.5% in the third calendar quarter of 2008. The slump continued into the fourth calendar quarter, when GDP declined 6.3%. The economy remained weak at the start of 2009, with the advance estimate for first calendar quarter GDP showing a decline of 6.1%.
     
    Near the end of 2008, the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) formally declared that the US economy was in a recession, placing its start back in December 2007. The NBER defines a recession as “a significant decline in economic activity, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in production, employment, real income and other indicators.”
     
Q.   How did the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) and US Treasury Department react to the challenging economic and market environment?
A.   The Fed has been aggressive in attempting to stabilize the markets, adding billions of dollars into the financial system in an attempt to keep the US economy from falling into a prolonged recession. The US Treasury Department was actively involved as well, as it took over mortgage finance companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and began to implement its Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP).
     
    The new administration in Washington has put the revival of the economy on the front burner. In February, President Obama signed into law a $787 billion stimulus package. More recently, the Treasury introduced the Public-Private Partnership Investment Program (PPIP), which aims to facilitate the purchase of $500 billion to $1 trillion of toxic mortgage assets from bank balance sheets.
     
    In further support of the economy, the Fed reduced the fed funds rate on several occasions during the reporting period. (The federal funds rate, or “fed funds” rate, is the rate that banks charge one another for


3

Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc.

    funds they borrow on an overnight basis.) When the period began, the fed funds rate was 2.00%.
     
    However, with the global financial crisis rapidly escalating and oil prices falling sharply, the Fed again moved into action, lowering the rate on October 8, 2008 in a coordinated interest rate cut with other central banks from around the world. This was followed by another rate reduction at the Fed’s regularly scheduled meeting on October 29, 2008. Together, these moves brought the federal funds rate to 1.00%. Then, at its December 16, 2008 meeting, the Fed aggressively cut the rate to a range of 0.00% to 0.25%—a record low. This rate was subsequently maintained at the Fed meetings that took place in January, March and April 2009.
     
Q.   How did the bond market perform in this environment?
A.   As was the case with the stock market, the fixed income markets experienced periods of extreme volatility during the reporting period. Treasury yields fluctuated as investors responded to a stream of news regarding the economy and the US government’s attempts to restore order to the financial markets and stimulate economic growth. Treasury yields ultimately moved lower (and their prices moved higher) given the Fed’s numerous interest rate cuts and periods of extreme investor risk aversion. During the six-month reporting period, two-year Treasury yields fell from 2.00% to 0.81%, while 10-year Treasury yields moved from 3.85% to 2.71%.
     
    The municipal bond market faced a number of challenges during the reporting period. In addition to periods of extreme investor risk aversion, there were concerns regarding the downgrades of several monoline bond insurers, as well as severely reduced liquidity in many areas and fears that the rapidly deteriorating economy may impact municipalities and their ability to meet their debt obligations.
     
    In terms of performance, the municipal market rallied during the first quarter of 2009 in response to increased investor risk appetite and compelling yields offered by municipal securities, and the tax-free market outperformed its taxable counterpart over the reporting period as a whole. During the six months ended March 31, 2009, municipal bonds, as measured by the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index, gained 5.00%, versus a 4.70% return for the Barclays Capital US Aggregate Index (formerly known as the Lehman Brothers US Aggregate Index), a measure of the US taxable bond market.

Q.   What is bond insurance, and how did the issues related to some monoline bond insurers affect the Fund?
A.   In the past, many bond issuers used bond insurance to improve the credit quality of securities that they planned to issue. Their goal was to make it easier and less expensive to access the credit markets. Bond insurance was intended to increase credit quality by offering protection against default by the issuer, or a downgrade if the bond issuer could not meet its obligations to pay interest and principal to bondholders in a timely manner. Companies whose primary line of business is to provide insurance services to one industry are called “monoline” insurers.
     
    Prior to 2007, no major monoline insurer had ever been downgraded, or had ever defaulted. However, beginning in 2007, the severe weakness in the housing market and the global credit crisis caused subprime and adjustable rate mortgages and related securities to experience extreme strains. At the same time, many monoline bond insurers posted losses as insured structured products appeared headed for default. As a result, several major insurers were downgraded by the major ratings agencies and lost their AAA ratings. We have also seen utilization of bond insurance fall significantly.
     
    The turmoil in this portion of the market negatively impacted the value of certain municipal bonds. While the Fund’s primary focus was not on insured bonds, it did hold securities that were negatively impacted by the issues related to monoline insurers. Looking ahead, we believe that the recent events surrounding many of the monoline insurers will cause the market to place an increasing emphasis on the underlying credit quality of the issuers of insured bonds.
     
Q.   In general terms, how did you position the Fund?
A.   When the reporting period began, the Fund’s duration was modestly shorter than that of its benchmark. (Duration is a measure of a fund’s sensitivity to interest rate changes, and is related to the maturity of the bonds comprising the portfolio.) As the period progressed, we extended the Fund’s duration, which benefited performance.
     
    Overall, the Fund’s yield curve positioning detracted from results. The Fund was underweight the one- to 10-year portion of the yield curve in relation to the benchmark, which hurt performance as that area generated better results than its longer-term counterparts. In addition, an overweight to issues in the intermediate (10- to 20-year) area of the curve was not rewarded during the reporting period.


5

Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc.

Q.   Which sector positions were important for the Fund?  
A.   Throughout the reporting period, we continued to place an emphasis on essential service revenue bonds. We maintained this stance as we felt that this portion of the municipal market would hold up relatively well in the rapidly weakening economic environment. In particular, we focused on those securities that we believed offered attractive levels of revenue and better earnings stability than some other sectors of the municipal market, benefiting performance.  
       
    The Fund also maintained an emphasis on both university and airport sector bonds during the reporting period. While higher-rated university bonds benefited performance, lesser-rated issues detracted from performance, as did airport bonds. However, we believe that this positioning is likely to be rewarded over the longer term.  
       
    The Fund’s exposure to the hospital and tobacco sectors detracted from results during the reporting period as they performed poorly. While the Fund benefited from its exposure to pre-refunded municipal bonds,* its underweight versus the benchmark detracted from relative results. Pre-refunded bonds were among the best-performing sectors in the municipal market during the reporting period. However, the Fund remained underweight to these issues due to its relative underweight to the shorter portion of the yield curve.  
       
Q.   Were there any states or regions that were an area of focus for the Fund?  
A.   A large portion of outstanding municipal securities is issued by a fairly small number of states. As of March 31, 2009, approximately 52% of the Fund’s holdings were in the securities of issuers in five states: California, Texas, Illinois, New York and Washington.  
       
    We focus our efforts on purchasing bonds from states that are, in our view, experiencing improved fiscal health and offering attractively valued municipal bonds. This was challenging at times, given the overall reduced liquidity in the market. However, we were able to increase the Fund’s exposure to Texas and Washington, both of which positively contributed to results. We continue to maintain an underweight to California, with a focus on essential services, hospitals and universities, while avoiding general obligations of the state.  
       
       
       
*   Pre-refunded bonds are issues that are scheduled to be called (retired) on the first possible call date. These bonds are not immediately retired, but rather are secured by an escrow fund that is backed by high-quality US government bonds. The rating of the refunded bond generally assumes the rating of the government obligations at the time the escrow fund is established.

Q.   What is your outlook for the economy and the municipal bond market?
A.   Despite significant risks that clearly remain on a number of fronts, we believe the unprecedented policy response by governments globally, combined with the inherently cyclical nature of the global economy, will eventually lead back to economic growth.
     
    We remain cautiously optimistic in terms of the municipal bond market. Even with its strong performance during the first quarter of 2009, we believe that it continues to be attractively valued, as municipal yields remain higher than comparable Treasuries on an after-tax basis. In addition, we believe that the US government’s stimulus package is likely to support both state and local municipalities. That said, certain challenges remain, including budgetary deficits and continued potential for reduced liquidity in the municipal market.
     
    Against this backdrop, we believe that fundamental credit research and a focus on long-term value will continue to be critical to our investment process. As the credit crisis has progressed, the credit characteristics of the market have changed, with AAA-rated bonds becoming harder to find at attractive prices.
     
    In closing, we should also note two factors, in particular, that impacted the level of Fund expenses over the six-month reporting period. First, there were certain costs related to the partial redemption of APS in December and the introduction of the Tender Option Bond (“TOB”) Program in September as a diversifying source of leverage. These costs were offset to some degree by the relatively lower interest rates paid to borrow through the TOB Program versus the rates paid on the APS. Because of various financial statement presentation requirements, the costs of leverage via the TOB Program are presented differently than costs associated with APS.
     
    Second, considerable resources were expended by the Fund, its Board and the Fund’s advisor in time, money and effort to address attacks by certain activist investors. These attacks diverted resources from the management of your Fund. Although the advisor waived a significant percentage of its advisory fee during the reporting period, these expenses negatively impacted the Fund.

Past performance does not predict future performance. The return and value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Fund’s common stock net asset value (“NAV”) return assumes, for illustration only, that dividends and other distributions, if any, were reinvested at the NAV on the payable dates. The Fund’s common stock market price returns assume that all dividends and other distributions, if any, were reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan. NAV and market price returns for the period of less than one year have not been annualized. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder could pay on Fund dividends and other distributions, if any, or the sale of Fund shares.
 
The Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index (formerly known as the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index) is an unmanaged, unleveraged measure of the total return for municipal bonds issued across the United States. Index returns do not include reinvestment of dividends. Investors should note that indices do not reflect fees, expenses or taxes.

(2)   Total net asset value return is calculated assuming a $10,000 purchase of common stock at the current net asset value on the first day of each period reported and a sale at the current net asset value on the last day of each period reported, and assuming reinvestment of dividends and other distributions at the net asset value on the payable date. Total investment return based on net asset value has not been annualized for the period of less than one year and is hypothetical as investors can not purchase or sell Fund shares at net asset value but only at market prices. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder could pay on Fund dividends and other distributions, if any, or the sale of Fund shares.
(3)   Total market price return is calculated assuming a $10,000 purchase of common stock at the current market price on the first day of each period reported and a sale at the current market price on the last day of each period reported, and assuming reinvestment of dividends and other distributions to common shareholders at prices obtained under the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Total investment return does not reflect brokerage commissions and has not been annualized for the period of less than one year. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder could pay on Fund dividends and other distributions, if any, or the sale of Fund shares.

Organization and significant accounting policies
Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) was incorporated in Maryland on August 6, 1992, and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a closed-end diversified management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve a high level of current income that is exempt from federal income tax, consistent with the preservation of capital. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.

In the normal course of business the Fund may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations or that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles requires the Fund’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

Valuation of investments—The Fund calculates its net asset value based on the current market value, where available, for its portfolio securities. The Fund normally obtains market values for its securities from independent pricing sources and broker-dealers. Independent pricing sources may use last reported sale prices, current market quotations or valuations from computerized “matrix” systems that derive values based on comparable securities. A matrix system incorporates parameters such as security quality, maturity and coupon, and/or research and evaluations by its staff, including review of broker-dealer market price quotations, if available, in determining the valuation of the portfolio securities. If a market value is not available from an independent pricing source for a particular security, that security is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type and cost



29

Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded similar or related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; and changes in overall market conditions. If events occur that materially affect the value of securities between the close of trading in those securities and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the securities are fair valued. The amortized cost method of valuation, which approximates market value, generally is used to value short-term debt instruments with sixty days or less remaining to maturity, unless the Board or its delegate determines that this does not represent fair value. Securities traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market are valued at the last bid price available on the valuation date prior to valuation.

In March 2008, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). The standard requires enhanced disclosures about the Fund’s derivative and hedging activities. FAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of FAS 161 may have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.

Repurchase agreements—The Fund may purchase securities or other obligations from a bank or securities dealer (or its affiliate), subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date (or upon demand) and price. The Fund maintains custody of the underlying obligations prior to their repurchase, either through its regular custodian or through a special “tri-party” custodian or sub-custodian that maintains a separate account for both the Fund and its counterparty. The underlying collateral is valued daily to ensure that the value, including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the Fund generally has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Repurchase agreements involving obligations other than US government securities (such as commercial paper, corporate bonds and mortgage loans) may be subject to special risks and may not have the benefit of certain protections in the event of counterparty insolvency. If the seller (or seller’s guarantor, if any) becomes insolvent, the Fund may suffer delays, costs and possible losses in connection with the disposition or retention of the collateral. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

The Fund may participate in joint repurchase agreement transactions with other funds managed, advised or sub-advised by UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”).

Floating-rate notes issued in conjunction with securities held—Tender option bond program
The Fund may sell a fixed-rate bond (“Fixed-Rate Bond”) to a broker who deposits the Fixed-Rate Bond into a special-purpose entity from which are issued floating-rate notes (“Floating-Rate Notes”) that are sold to third parties. The Floating-Rate Notes have interest rates that reset weekly and the holders of the Floating-Rate Notes have the option to tender their notes to the broker at par at each reset date. A residual certificate (an “Inverse Floater”), which pays interest equal to the difference between the Fixed-Rate Bond and the Floating-Rate Notes, is also issued by the special-purpose entity. The Inverse Floater also gives the holder the right to cause the Floating-Rate Note to be called at par and to require transfer of the Fixed-Rate Bond to the holder of the Inverse Floater, thereby liquidating the special-purpose entity. In certain transactions, the Fund ultimately receives the Inverse Floater plus the cash equivalent of the proceeds raised from the issuance of the Floating-Rate Notes in exchange for the Fixed-Rate Bonds, less fees and expenses.

Although the Fund physically holds the Inverse Floater, the transaction is accounted for as a secured borrowing pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“SFAS 140”), because of its unilateral right to cause the liquidation of the special-purpose entity and recover the Fixed-Rate Bond it originally sold to the broker. In accordance with SFAS 140, the Fund includes the Fixed-Rate Bond on the Portfolio of investments and recognizes the Floating-Rate Notes as a liability on the Statement of assets and liabilities.

At March 31, 2009, the aggregate value of the underlying bonds transferred to special-purpose entities was $26,495,000 and the related liability for Floating-Rate Notes was $19,865,000. The range of interest rates on the liability for Floating-Rate Notes was 0.410% to 5.820%, at a weighted average rate of 1.382% for the six months ended March 31, 2009. At March 31, 2009, the aggregate value of the Inverse Floaters was $6,630,000, at a weighted average yield of 14.674%.

Investment transactions and investment income—Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses



31

Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

from investment transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments.

Futures contracts—Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to deliver to a broker an amount of cash and/or securities equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the “initial margin.” Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin”, are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying financial futures contracts. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as unrealized gain or loss until the financial futures contract is closed, at which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss on futures. Variation margin calls could be substantial in the event of adverse price movements.

Using financial futures contracts involves various market risks. If the Fund was unable to liquidate a futures position due to the absence of a liquid secondary market or the imposition of price limits, it could incur substantial losses and would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the position. In addition, the Fund would continue to be required to make variation margin payments and might be required to maintain the position being hedged or to maintain cash or securities in a separate account. Furthermore, certain characteristics of the futures market might increase the risk that movements in the prices of the financial futures contracts might not correlate perfectly with movements in the prices of the investments being hedged, including temporary price distortion. The separate account for margin will be maintained at the futures counterparty and may be subject to risks or delays if the counterparty becomes insolvent. At March 31, 2009, the Fund had no futures contracts outstanding.

Dividends and distributions—The Fund intends to pay monthly dividends to common shareholders at a rate level that over time will result in the distribution of all of the Fund’s net investment income remaining after the payment of dividends on any outstanding auction preferred shares. The dividend rate on the common stock is adjusted as necessary to reflect the earnings rate of the Fund. Dividends and distributions to common shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends to auction preferred shareholders are accrued daily. The amount of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains is



32

Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US generally accepted accounting principles. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.

Concentration of risk
The Fund follows an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of various states. Economic changes affecting those states and certain of their public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of the issuers within those states to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by the Fund.

Investment advisor and administrator
The Board has approved an Investment Advisory and Administration Contract, under which UBS Global AM serves as investment advisor and administrator of the Fund. UBS Global AM is an indirect wholly owned asset management subsidiary of UBS AG, an internationally diversified organization with headquarters in Zurich and Basel, Switzerland and operations in many areas of the financial services industry. In accordance with the Advisory Contract, the Fund is obligated to pay UBS Global AM an investment advisory and administration fee, which is accrued weekly and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.90% of the Fund’s average weekly net assets attributable to holders of common and auction preferred shares (“APS”). UBS Global AM has agreed to waive a portion of the advisory and administration fee so that the Fund’s effective fee is 0.60% of average weekly net assets attributable only to holders of common shares. This waiver will continue indefinitely unless the Board agrees to any change. At March 31, 2009, the Fund owed UBS Global AM $66,838 for investment advisory and administration fees, which is composed of $161,944 of investment advisory and administration fees less fees waived of $95,106. For the six months ended March 31, 2009, UBS Global AM waived $570,482 of investment advisory and administration fees from the Fund.

Additional information regarding compensation to affiliate of a board member
Effective March 1, 2005, Professor Meyer Feldberg accepted the position of senior advisor to Morgan Stanley, resulting in him becoming an interested director of the Fund. The Fund has been informed that Professor Feldberg’s role at Morgan Stanley does not involve matters directly affecting any



33

Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

UBS funds. Fund transactions are executed through Morgan Stanley based on that firm’s ability to provide best execution of the transactions. During the six months ended March 31, 2009, the Fund purchased and sold certain securities (e.g., fixed income securities) in principal trades with Morgan Stanley having an aggregate value of $7,134,342. Morgan Stanley received compensation in connection with these trades, which may have been in the form of a “mark-up” or “mark-down” of the price of the securities, a fee from the issuer for maintaining a commercial paper program, or some other form of compensation. Although the precise amount of this compensation is not generally known by UBS Global AM, UBS Global AM believes that under normal circumstances it represents a small portion of the total value of the transactions. In addition, Morgan Stanley may participate as a broker-dealer in auctions for the Fund’s Auction Preferred Shares and receive compensation. Amounts received by Morgan Stanley, if any, will vary depending upon that firm’s participation in an auction, and such amounts are calculated and paid by the auction agent from money provided by the Fund.

Auction preferred shares related services fees
UBS Financial Services Inc., an affiliate of UBS Global AM, provides certain services to the Fund and certain holders of the outstanding APS pursuant to an agreement with Deutsche Bank, the Fund’s auction agent for APS. For the six months ended March 31, 2009, UBS Financial Services Inc. received from Deutsche Bank $36,839 (paid indirectly by the Fund) for these services.

Restricted securities
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund’s “Portfolio of investments.”

Auction preferred shares
The Fund has outstanding 582 shares of auction preferred shares Series A, 582 shares of auction preferred shares Series B, and 436 shares of auction preferred shares Series C, which are referred to herein collectively as the “APS.” All shares of each series of APS have a liquidation preference of $50,000 per share plus an amount equal to accumulated but unpaid dividends upon liquidation.



34

Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

Dividends, which are cumulative, are generally reset every 7 days for each Series of APS. Dividend rates as of March 31, 2009 for each Series of APS were as follows and reflect the “maximum rates” under the governing instruments as a result of “failed auctions” in which sufficient clearing bids were not received:

Series A   0.685%

Series B   0.746%

Series C   0.746%

For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the average dividend rates for each Series of APS were 1.77%, 1.68%, and 1.92% for Series A, B and C, respectively.

The Fund is subject to certain restrictions relating to the APS. Failure to comply with these restrictions could preclude the Fund from declaring any distributions to common shareholders or repurchasing common shares and/or could trigger the mandatory redemption of APS at liquidation value.

The APS are entitled to one vote per share and, unless otherwise required by law, will vote with holders of common stock as a single class, except that the APS will vote separately as a class on certain matters, as required by law. The holders of the APS have the right to elect two directors of the Fund.

The redemption of the Fund’s APS is outside of the control of the Fund because it is redeemable upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the Fund.

On December 12, 2008, the Fund announced the following redemptions of APS at a price of $50,000 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends through the redemption date:

    Aggregate   Number of shares   Redemption
Series of APS   principal   redeemed   payment date

Series A   $ 3,650,000   73   December 19, 2008

Series B     3,650,000   73   December 22, 2008

Series C     2,700,000   54   December 23, 2008

These partial redemptions had the effect of decreasing the level of the Fund’s leverage.

For the six months ended March 31, 2009, aggregate purchases and sales of portfolio securities, excluding short-term securities, were $11,298,311 and $16,124,259, respectively.

Federal tax status
The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its tax-exempt income and any taxable income and to comply with the other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, net realized capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Fund intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax.

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 was as follows:

Distributions paid from:     2008

Tax-exempt income     $10,284,613

Ordinary income     62,959

Capital gains     1,836,954

Total distributions paid     $12,184,526

The tax character of distributions paid and the components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis for the current fiscal year will be calculated after the Fund’s fiscal year ending on September 30, 2009.

As of and during the period ended March 31, 2009, the Fund did not have any liabilities for any unrecognized tax positions. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the six months ended March 31, 2009, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each of the tax years in the four year period ended September 30, 2008, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

Shareholder meeting information
Please note—Information regarding the Fund’s 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders was previously disclosed in a press release dated January 27, 2009. As required by applicable regulations, voting results are being repeated in this report.

On January 15, 2009, the holders of the Fund’s common stock and auction preferred stock (“APS”) were asked to: (i) elect four directors; (ii) consider and vote upon a new advisory and administration contract with lower contractual fees between the Fund and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”); (iii) to consider, if properly presented,

a stockholder proposal that the investment advisory agreement between the Fund and UBS Global AM be terminated; and (iv) to consider, if properly presented, a stockholder proposal recommending that the board of directors of the Fund be prohibited from retaining UBS Global AM and certain other entities. In addition, the holders of the Fund’s APS also were asked to elect two directors on January 15, 2009. A group of dissident stockholders had also proposed its own slate of nominees for the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).

Quorum
A “quorum” was necessary for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. A quorum is the presence, in person or by proxy, of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting (that is, a majority of the shares outstanding as of the record date). On January 15, 2009, the holders of approximately 65.13% of the common stock and APS outstanding as of the record date were represented in person or by proxy; this constituted a quorum for the matters to be voted upon by all stockholders at the Annual Meeting. An insufficient number of holders of APS were present in person or by proxy to constitute a quorum either on January 15, 2009, or on January 21, 2009, when the adjourned meeting was reconvened solely for the election of the two directors to be elected by holders of the APS. (Approximately 12% of the holders of APS were represented in person or by proxy at the reconvened meeting on January 21, 2009.)

Election of directors
Each of the individuals nominated by the Board for election by holders of both the outstanding common stock and APS, Richard Q. Armstrong, Alan S. Bernikow, Bernard H. Garil and Heather R. Higgins, received a plurality of the votes cast in the election of directors and were reelected to the Board. Each received at least 3.42 million votes “FOR” reelection, and fewer than 333,000 “WITHHOLD” instructions. None of the dissident nominees received more than 2.94 million votes “FOR” election, and they each received more than 55,000 “WITHHOLD” instructions.

Although the election of the two directors to be voted upon solely by holders of the APS could not take place at the reconvened Annual Meeting on January 21, 2009, due to lack of a quorum, the two nominees who presently serve as directors of the Fund and who were last elected by the APS holders in 2008, Meyer Feldberg and Richard R. Burt, will continue to do so under Maryland law. Based on information provided to the Fund at

General information (unaudited)

the January 21, 2009, reconvening of the Annual Meeting, among those APS stockholders whose votes were actually represented in person or by proxy, Messrs. Burt and Feldberg each received 126 votes “FOR” reelection and 13 “WITHHOLD” instructions, which exceeded the number of votes received by the dissident nominees (the dissident nominees were each reported to have received 83 votes “FOR” election).

Proposed new advisory and administration agreement
The proposed new investment advisory and administration agreement between the Fund and UBS Global AM did not receive the required affirmative vote of the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting if the holders of 50% of the outstanding shares are present or represented by proxy, or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding voting shares. Approximately 52.43% of the holders of stock present in person or by proxy voted “FOR” the proposed agreement. There were 3,537,153 votes in favor of the new agreement. UBS Global AM currently continues to serve as the Fund’s investment advisor and administrator pursuant to the agreement that has been in place for several years.

Stockholder proposals
The stockholder proposal to terminate the investment advisory agreement between the Fund and UBS Global AM did not receive the required affirmative vote of the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting if the holders of 50% of the outstanding shares are present or represented by proxy, or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding voting shares. Approximately 50.80% of the holders of stock present in person or by proxy voted “FOR” this proposal (3,427,346 votes).

The non-binding stockholder proposal that the Fund’s Board not retain UBS Global AM and certain other entities as investment manager narrowly received more than a majority of the votes cast at the meeting. This non-binding proposal received 3,447,364 votes “FOR,” 3,075,772 votes “AGAINST,” and 223,240 abstentions. The number of “FOR” votes cast on this proposal represented approximately 51.10% of the holders of stock present in person or by proxy and voting (and 33.28% of the Fund’s outstanding shares).

The Board has considered the stockholder proposal that was approved, in light of its fiduciary duties to the Fund and the surrounding circumstances, and will be communicating directly to shareholders.

As noted above, given the lack of a quorum of APS holders on January 21, 2009, a vote was not taken with respect to the two directors who are elected solely by APS holders.

Dividend reinvestment plan
The Fund’s Board has established a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”) under which all common shareholders whose shares are registered in their own names, or in the name of UBS Financial Services Inc. or its nominee, will have all dividends and other distributions on their shares of common stock automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock, unless such common shareholders elect to receive cash. Common shareholders who elect to hold their shares in the name of another broker or nominee should contact such broker or nominee to determine whether, or how, they may participate in the Plan. The ability of such shareholders to participate in the Plan may change if their shares are transferred into the name of another broker or nominee.

A common shareholder may elect not to participate in the Plan or may terminate participation in the Plan at any time without penalty, and common shareholders who have previously terminated participation in the Plan may rejoin it at any time. Changes in elections must be made in writing to the Fund’s transfer agent and should include the shareholder’s name and address as they appear on the share certificate or in the transfer agent’s records. An election to terminate participation in the Plan, until such election is changed, will be deemed an election by a common shareholder to take all subsequent distributions in cash. An election will be effective only for distributions declared and having a record date at least ten days after the date on which the election is received.

Additional shares of common stock acquired under the Plan will be purchased in the open market, on the NYSE or otherwise, at prices that may be higher or lower than the net asset value per share of the common stock at the time of the purchase. The number of shares of common stock purchased with each dividend will be equal to the result obtained by dividing the amount of the dividend payable to a particular shareholder by the average price per share (including applicable brokerage commissions) that the transfer agent was able to obtain in the open market. The Fund will not issue any new shares of common stock in connection with the Plan. There currently is no charge to participants for reinvesting dividends or other distributions. The transfer agent’s fees for handling the reinvestment



41

Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc.

General information (unaudited)

of distributions will be paid by the Fund. However, each participant pays a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the transfer agent’s open market purchases of common stock in connection with the reinvestment of distributions. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and other distributions in shares of common stock does not relieve participants of any income tax that may be payable on such distributions.

Experience under the Plan may indicate that changes are desirable. Accordingly, the Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan with respect to any dividend or other distribution if notice of the change is sent to Plan participants at least 30 days before the record date for such distribution. The Plan also may be amended or terminated by the transfer agent by at least 30 days’ written notice to all Plan participants. Additional information regarding the Plan may be obtained from, and all correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to, the transfer agent at PNC Global Investment Servicing, P.O. Box 43027, Providence, Rhode Island 02940-3027. For further information regarding the Plan, you may also contact the transfer agent directly at 1-800-331 1710.
