The Fund's monthly distribution is set by its
Board of Trustees. The Board reviews the Fund's distribution on a
quarterly basis in view of its net investment income, realized and
unrealized gains, and other net unrealized appreciation or income
expected during the remainder of the year. The Fund strives to
establish a level monthly distribution that, over the course of the
year, will serve to distribute an amount closely approximating the
Fund's net investment income and net realized capital gains during
the year.
The following table sets forth the estimated
sources of income of the current distribution, and the cumulative
distributions paid this fiscal year to date from the following
sources: net investment income, net realized short-term capital

or other capital source. All amounts are expressed on a per share
of common stock basis and as a percentage of the distribution

There is no assurance the Fund will continue to
pay regular monthly distributions or that it will do so at a
particular rate.
You should not draw any conclusions about the
Fund's investment performance from the amount of
its distribution to shareholders.
Any distributions in excess of the Fund's current
and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated first, as
a tax-deferred return of capital, which is applied against and will
reduce the adjusted tax basis of shares and, after such
adjusted basis is reduced to zero, will generally constitute
capital gains. A return of capital distribution may lower a
shareholder's basis in the Fund, causing a potential future
tax consequence in connection with the sale of Fund shares,
even if such shares are sold at a loss to the shareholder's
initial investments.
Any amounts and sources of distributions are only
estimated and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes.
The actual amounts and sources of income of the amounts for tax
reporting purposes will depend on the Fund's investment experience
during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to
changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will send a Form
1099-DIV for the calendar year that will advise how to report these
distributions for federal income tax purposes.
The Fund is a closed-end fund, which is traded on
the New York Stock Exchange and invests primarily in
income-producing equity securities issued by infrastructure
companies. Holdings are subject to change. Past performance is no
guarantee of future results.
