Company Press Release

CHICAGO, Nov 03, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Harris Associates L.P. announced today that the Oakmark Equity & Income Fund will re-open to all investors effective immediately. The Oakmark Equity & Income Fund, which was launched on November 1, 1995, closed to most new investors on May 7, 2004.

"Recent market volatility has dramatically increased the number of interesting investment opportunities for our consideration. At the same time, the volatility has discouraged many investors, including Fund shareholders, resulting in increased outflows just when the opportunity set is expanding," says Clyde McGregor, co-portfolio manager of Oakmark Equity & Income Fund. Co-portfolio manager Edward Studzinski adds, "By restoring the equilibrium between purchases and sales, we hope to retain greater portfolio flexibility for Fund shareholders while enhancing our ability to invest opportunistically in this period of heightened market volatility."

ABOUT OAKMARK EQUITY & INCOME FUND:

The Fund may also invest up to 35% of its total assets in securities of non-U.S. companies.
