NEW
YORK, Aug. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Neuberger
Berman Energy Infrastructure and Income Fund Inc. (NYSE
American: NML) (the "Fund") has announced a distribution
declaration of $0.0584 per share of
common stock. The distribution announced today is payable on
September 30, 2024, has a record date
of September 16, 2024, and has an
ex-date of September 16, 2024.
The Fund currently intends to make regular monthly cash
distributions to holders of its common stock at a fixed rate per
share, to be determined based on the projected net rate of return
of the Fund's investments as well as other factors, subject to
ongoing review and adjustment from time to time. The Fund
currently intends to pay its regular monthly distributions out of
its distributable cash flow, which generally consists of (1) cash
and paid-in-kind distributions from master limited partnerships
("MLPs") or their affiliates, dividends from common stocks,
interest from debt instruments and income from other investments
held by the Fund less (2) current or accrued operating expenses,
including leverage costs, if any, and taxes on its taxable
income.
The Fund expects that a portion of its distributions to
stockholders will constitute a non-taxable return of capital. A
"return of capital" is a distribution by the Fund which represents
a return of a common stockholder's original investment, and should
not be confused with a dividend. To the extent the Fund pays
a return of capital, a common stockholder's basis in Fund
shares will be reduced, which will increase a capital gain or
reduce a capital loss upon sale of those shares. There is no
assurance that the Fund will always be able to pay a distribution
of any particular amount, or that a distribution will consist
solely of the Fund's current and accumulated earnings and
profits.
In compliance with Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, a notice would be provided for any distribution
that does not consist solely of net investment income. The notice
would be for informational purposes and not for tax reporting
purposes, and would disclose, among other things, estimated
portions of the distribution, if any, consisting of net investment
income, capital gains and return of capital. The final
determination of the source and tax characteristics of all
distributions paid in 2024 will be made after the end of the
year.
The Fund is subject to federal income tax on its taxable income,
unlike most investment companies. Any taxes paid by the Fund will
reduce the amount available to pay distributions to stockholders,
and therefore investors in the Fund will likely receive lower
distributions than if they invested directly in MLPs.
