We present new multiband photometry for the Galactic globular cluster IC 4499 extending well past the main sequence turn-off in the U , B , V , R , I , and DDO 51 bands .
This photometry is used to determine that IC 4499 has an age of 12 \pm 1 Gyr and a cluster reddening of E ( B - V ) = 0.22 \pm 0.02 .
Hence , IC 4499 is coeval with the majority of Galactic GCs , in contrast to suggestions of a younger age .
The density profile of the cluster is observed to not flatten out to at least r \sim 800 ^ { \prime \prime } , implying that either the tidal radius of this cluster is larger than previously estimated , or that IC 4499 is surrounded by a halo .
Unlike the situation in some other , more massive , globular clusters , no anomalous color spreads in the UV are detected among the red giant branch stars .
The small uncertainties in our photometry should allow the detection of such signatures apparently associated with variations of light elements within the cluster , suggesting that IC 4499 consists of a single stellar population .
