Returns represent past performance and do not guarantee future results. Investment returns
and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. When shares are sold, they may be worth
more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the
performance data presented. Visit www.gabelli.com for performance information as of the most
recent month end. Performance returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.
Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the
Fund before investing. The S&P 500 and MSCI World Free Indices are unmanaged indicators of stock
market performance. Dividends are considered reinvested except for the MSCI World Free Index. You cannot invest directly in an index. |

expenses. Since inception return is based on an initial NAV of $7.50. |

We have separated the portfolio managers commentary from the financial statements and
investment portfolio due to corporate governance regulations stipulated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002. We have done this to ensure that the content of the portfolio managers commentary is
unrestricted. The financial statements and investment portfolio are mailed separately from the
commentary. Both the commentary and the financial statements, including the portfolio of
investments, will be available on our website at www.gabelli.com.

THE GABELLI GLOBAL MULTIMEDIA TRUST INC.
NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS (Unaudited)
The Funds financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP), which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant
accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation. Portfolio securities listed or traded on a nationally recognized securities
exchange or traded in the U.S. over-the-counter market for which market quotations are readily
available are valued at the last quoted sale price or a markets official closing price as of the
close of business on the day the securities are being valued. If there were no sales that day, the
security is valued at the average of the closing bid and asked prices or, if there were no asked
prices quoted on that day, then the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. If no
bid or asked prices are quoted on such day, the security is valued at the most recently available
price or, if the Board of Directors (the Board) so determines, by such other method as the Board
shall determine in good faith to reflect its fair market value. Portfolio securities traded on more
than one national securities exchange or market are valued according to the broadest and most
representative market, as determined by Gabelli Funds, LLC (the Adviser).
Portfolio securities primarily traded on a foreign market are generally valued at the
preceding closing values of such securities on the relevant market, but may be fair valued pursuant
to procedures established by the Board if market conditions change significantly after the close of
the foreign market, but prior to the close of business on the day the securities are being valued.
Debt instruments with remaining maturities of sixty days or less that are not credit impaired are
valued at amortized cost, unless the Board determines such amount does not reflect the securities
fair value, in which case these securities will be fair valued as determined by the Board. Debt
instruments having a maturity greater than sixty days for which market quotations are readily
available are valued at the average of the latest bid and asked prices. If there were no asked
prices quoted on such day, the security is valued using the closing bid price. U.S. government
obligations with maturities greater than sixty days are normally valued using a model that
incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes,
yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Certain securities are valued principally using dealer
quotations. Futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price of the exchange or board
of trade on which the applicable contract is traded.
Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued as
determined by the Board. Fair valuation methodologies and procedures may include, but are not
limited to: analysis and review of available financial and non-financial information about the
company; comparisons with the valuation and changes in valuation of similar securities, including a
comparison of foreign securities with the equivalent U.S. dollar value ADR securities at the close
of the U.S. exchange; and evaluation of any other information that could be indicative of the value
of the security.
The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Funds investments are
summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:
|
|
|
Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical securities; |
|
|
|
|
Level 2 other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar
securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); and |
|
|
|
|
Level 3 significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds determinations as
to the fair value of investments). |

A financial instruments level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest
level of any input both individually and in aggregate that is significant to the fair value
measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an
indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The summary of the Funds
investments in securities and other financial instruments by inputs used to value the Funds
investments as of March 31, 2011 is as follows:

The Funds policy is to recognize transfers into and transfers out of Level 3 as of the
beginning of the reporting period. |
Foreign Currency Translations. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S.
dollars. Foreign currencies, investments, and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S.
dollars at the current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and
expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such
transactions. Unrealized gains and losses that result from changes in foreign exchange rates and/or
changes in market prices of securities have been included in unrealized appreciation/depreciation
on investments and foreign currency translations. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses
resulting from changes in exchange rates include foreign currency gains and losses between trade
date and settlement date on investment securities transactions, foreign currency transactions, and
the difference between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of the Fund and
the amounts actually received. The portion of foreign currency gains and losses related to
fluctuation in exchange rates between the initial purchase trade date and subsequent sale trade
date is included in realized gain/loss on investments.
Foreign Securities. The Fund may directly purchase securities of foreign issuers. Investing in
securities of foreign issuers involves special risks not typically associated with investing in
securities of U.S. issuers. The risks include possible revaluation of currencies, the inability to
repatriate funds, less complete financial information about companies, and possible future adverse
political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign issuers and their markets
may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. issuers.
Foreign Taxes. The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments, or
currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and
recoveries as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that
exist in the markets in which it invests.

Restricted and Illiquid Securities. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in
securities for which the markets are illiquid. Illiquid securities include securities the
disposition of which is subject to substantial legal or contractual restrictions. The sale of
illiquid securities often requires more time and results in higher brokerage charges or dealer
discounts and other selling expenses than does the sale of securities eligible for trading on
national securities exchanges or in the over-the-counter markets. Restricted securities may sell at
a price lower than similar securities that are not subject to restrictions on resale. Securities
freely saleable among qualified institutional investors under special rules adopted by the SEC may
be treated as liquid if they satisfy liquidity standards established by the Board. The continued
liquidity of such securities is not as well assured as that of publicly traded securities, and
accordingly the Board will monitor their liquidity. For the restricted and illiquid securities the
Fund held as of March 31, 2011, refer to the Schedule of Investments.
Derivative Financial Instruments. The Fund may engage in various portfolio investment strategies by
investing in a number of derivative financial instruments for the purposes of hedging or protecting
its exposure to interest rate movements and movements in the securities markets, hedging against
changes in the value of its portfolio securities and in the value of securities it intends to
purchase, or hedging against a specific transaction with respect to either the currency in which
the transaction is denominated or another currency. Investing in certain derivative financial
instruments, including participation in the options, futures, or swap markets, entails certain
execution, liquidity, hedging, tax, and securities, interest, credit, or currency market risks.
Losses may arise if the Advisers prediction of movements in the direction of the securities,
foreign currency, and interest rate markets is inaccurate. Losses may also arise if the
counterparty does not perform its duties under a contract, or that, in the event of default, the
Fund may be delayed in or prevented from obtaining payments or other contractual remedies owed to
it under derivative contracts. The creditworthiness of the counterparties is closely monitored in
order to minimize these risks. Participation in derivative transactions involves investment risks,
transaction costs, and potential losses to which the Fund would not be subject absent the use of
these strategies. The consequences of these risks, transaction costs, and losses may have a
negative impact on the Funds ability to pay distributions.
The Funds derivative contracts held at March 31, 2011, if any, are not accounted for as
hedging instruments under GAAP.
Swap Agreements. The Fund may enter into interest rate swap or cap transactions for the
purpose of hedging or protecting its exposure to interest rate movements and movements in the
securities markets. The use of swaps is a highly specialized activity that involves investment
techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio security transactions.
In an interest rate swap, the Fund would agree to pay periodically to the other party (which is
known as the counterparty) a fixed rate payment in exchange for the counterparty agreeing to pay
to the Fund periodically a variable rate payment that is intended to approximate the Funds
variable rate payment obligation on the Series C Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock (Series C
Stock). In an interest rate cap, the Fund would pay a premium to the counterparty and, to the
extent that a specified variable rate index exceeds a predetermined fixed rate, would receive from
that counterparty payments of the difference based on the notional amount of such cap. Interest
rate swaps and cap transactions introduce additional risk because the Fund would remain obligated
to pay preferred stock dividends when due in accordance with the Articles Supplementary even if the
counterparty defaulted. In a swap, a set of future cash flows is exchanged between two
counterparties. One of these cash flow streams will typically be based on a reference interest rate
combined with the performance of a notional value of shares of a stock. The other will be based on
the performance of the shares of a stock. Depending on the general state of short-term interest
rates and the returns on the Funds portfolio securities at the time a swap transaction reaches its
scheduled termination date, there is a risk that the Fund will not be able to obtain a replacement
transaction or that the terms of the replacement will not be as favorable as on the expiring
transaction.

Based on LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate). |
Current notional amounts are an indicator of the average volume of the Funds derivative
activities during the period ended March 31, 2011.
Futures Contracts. The Fund may engage in futures contracts for the purpose of hedging against
changes in the value of its portfolio securities and in the value of securities it intends to
purchase. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker an
amount of cash or cash equivalents equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This is
known as the initial margin. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the
Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract, which are included
in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on futures contracts. The Fund recognizes a realized gain
or loss when the contract is closed.
There are several risks in connection with the use of futures contracts as a hedging
instrument. The change in value of futures contracts primarily corresponds with the value of their
underlying instruments, which may not correlate with the change in value of the hedged investments.
In addition, there is the risk that the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction
because of an illiquid secondary market. During the period ended March 31, 2011, the Fund held no
investments in futures contracts.
Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts. The Fund may engage in forward foreign exchange contracts
for the purpose of hedging a specific transaction with respect to either the currency in which the
transaction is denominated or another currency as deemed appropriate by the Adviser. Forward
foreign exchange contracts are valued at the forward rate and are marked-to-market daily. The
change in market value is included in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency
translations. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the
difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it
was closed.
The use of forward foreign exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the
underlying prices of the Funds portfolio securities, but it does establish a rate of exchange that
can be achieved in the future. Although forward foreign exchange contracts limit the risk of loss
due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might
result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to risks
if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. During the
period ended March 31, 2011, the Fund held no investments in forward foreign exchange contracts.

AUTOMATIC DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT
AND VOLUNTARY CASH PURCHASE PLANS
Enrollment in the Plan
It is the policy of The Gabelli Global Multimedia Trust Inc. (the Fund) to automatically
reinvest dividends payable to common shareholders. As a registered shareholder you automatically
become a participant in the Funds Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the Plan). The Plan
authorizes the Fund to credit shares of common stock to participants upon an income dividend or a
capital gains distribution regardless of whether the shares are trading at a discount or a premium
to net asset value. All distributions to shareholders whose shares are registered in their own
names will be automatically reinvested pursuant to the Plan in additional shares of the Fund. Plan
participants may send their stock certificates to Computershare Trust Company, N.A.
(Computershare) to be held in their dividend reinvestment account. Registered shareholders
wishing to receive their distributions in cash must submit this request in writing to:
The Gabelli Global Multimedia Trust Inc.
c/o Computershare
P.O. Box 43010
Providence, RI 029403010
Shareholders requesting this cash election must include the shareholders name and address as
they appear on the share certificate. Shareholders with additional questions regarding the Plan or
requesting a copy of the terms of the Plan, may contact Computershare at (800) 336-6983.
If your shares are held in the name of a broker, bank, or nominee, you should contact such
institution. If such institution is not participating in the Plan, your account will be credited
with a cash dividend. In order to participate in the Plan through such institution, it may be
necessary for you to have your shares taken out of street name and re-registered in your own
name. Once registered in your own name your distributions will be automatically reinvested. Certain
brokers participate in the Plan. Shareholders holding shares in street name at participating
institutions will have dividends automatically reinvested. Shareholders wishing a cash dividend at
such institution must contact their broker to make this change.
The number of shares of common stock distributed to participants in the Plan in lieu of cash
dividends is determined in the following manner. Under the Plan, whenever the market price of the
Funds common stock is equal to or exceeds net asset value at the time shares are valued for
purposes of determining the number of shares equivalent to the cash dividends or capital gains
distribution, participants are issued shares of common stock valued at the greater of (i) the net
asset value as most recently determined or (ii) 95% of the then current market price of the Funds
common stock. The valuation date is the dividend or distribution payment date or, if that date is
not a New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) trading day, the next trading day. If the net asset value of
the common stock at the time of valuation exceeds the market price of the common stock,
participants will receive shares from the Fund valued at market price. If the Fund should declare a
dividend or capital gains distribution payable only in cash, Computershare will buy shares of
common stock in the open market, or on the NYSE or elsewhere, for the participants accounts,
except that Computershare will endeavor to terminate purchases in the open market and cause the
Fund to issue shares at net asset value if, following the commencement of such purchases, the
market value of the common stock exceeds the then current net asset value.
The automatic reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions will not relieve
participants of any income tax which may be payable on such distributions. A participant in the
Plan will be treated for federal income tax purposes as having received, on a dividend payment
date, a dividend or distribution in an amount equal to the cash the participant could have received
instead of shares.
13
Voluntary Cash Purchase Plan
The Voluntary Cash Purchase Plan is yet another vehicle for our shareholders to increase their
investment in the Fund. In order to participate in the Voluntary Cash Purchase Plan, shareholders
must have their shares registered in their own name.
Participants in the Voluntary Cash Purchase Plan have the option of making additional cash
payments to Computershare for investments in the Funds common shares at the then current market
price. Shareholders may send an amount from $250 to $10,000. Computershare will use these funds to
purchase shares in the open market on or about the 1st and 15th of each month. Computershare will
charge each shareholder who participates $0.75, plus a pro rata share of the brokerage commissions.
Brokerage charges for such purchases are expected to be less than the usual brokerage charge for
such transactions. It is suggested that any voluntary cash payments be sent to Computershare, P.O.
Box 43010, Providence, RI 029403010 such that Computershare receives such payments approximately
10 days before the 1st and 15th of the month. Funds not received at least five days before the
investment date shall be held for investment until the next purchase date. A payment may be
withdrawn without charge if notice is received by Computershare at least 48 hours before such
payment is to be invested.
Shareholders wishing to liquidate shares held at Computershare must do so in writing or by
telephone. Please submit your request to the above mentioned address or telephone number. Include
in your request your name, address, and account number. The cost to liquidate shares is $2.50 per
transaction as well as the brokerage commission incurred. Brokerage charges are expected to be less
than the usual brokerage charge for such transactions.
For more information regarding the Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan and Voluntary Cash
Purchase Plan, brochures are available by calling (914) 921-5070 or by writing directly to the
Fund.
The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan as applied to any voluntary cash
payments made and any dividend or distribution paid subsequent to written notice of the change sent
to the members of the Plan at least 90 days before the record date for such dividend or
distribution. The Plan also may be amended or terminated by Computershare on at least 90 days
written notice to participants in the Plan.
