Boston, Massachusetts, May 23, 2003 -- The New America High Income Fund, Inc. (the "Fund")(NYSE:HYB) announced today the filing of a Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding a transferable rights offering to the holders of the Fund's common stock.
Under the expected terms of the offering, as described in the Registration Statement, the Fund will issue to its common stockholders rights to subscribe for an aggregate of approximately 23,381,095 shares of the Fund's common stock.

The method of pricing and the record date will be determined and announced shortly before the commencement of the offering, which the Fund presently anticipates will occur in July 2003.

The Fund intends to apply to list the rights for trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
