Key Terms

managed distribution policy, return of capital, mlps, net asset value, +4 more
8 terms
managed distribution policy financial
"In March 2015, the Fund implemented a managed distribution policy in accordance..."
A managed distribution policy is a company’s plan to pay regular cash to shareholders at a set rate by combining income, dividends and occasional return of capital. Think of it as a scheduled withdrawal from a household account: it can provide steady income for investors, but part of the payment may come from savings rather than ongoing earnings, so investors should watch how those payments are funded and whether they are sustainable over time.
return of capital financial
"The Fund's monthly distributions may include... and/or return of capital for federal..."
Return of capital is when an investor receives money from their investment that is not considered profit or earnings but rather a portion of the original amount they invested. It’s similar to getting back part of your initial savings rather than gains from it. This matters because it can affect how much money an investor still has in the investment and may have tax implications.
mlps financial
"In addition, distributions from the Fund's investments in MLPs are attributed to..."
Master limited partnerships are business structures that trade on public exchanges like stocks but are taxed like partnerships, passing most profits directly to investors. They commonly own energy infrastructure and are valued for steady, distribution-style income—think of buying a share of a toll road that pays regular fees—while returns depend on operating cash flow, commodity prices and leverage, and they create different tax paperwork than regular stocks.
net asset value financial
"The Fund's NAV is calculated as the total market value of all the securities..."
Net asset value is the total value of an investment fund's assets minus any liabilities, divided by the number of shares or units outstanding. It represents the per-share worth of the fund, similar to how the value of a house is determined by its total worth after debts are subtracted. Investors use it to gauge the true value of their holdings and to compare different investment options.
nav financial
"The performance and distribution rate information... is based on the Fund's net asset value per share (NAV)."
Net asset value (NAV) is the total value of all the investments and assets in a fund or company, minus any debts or liabilities, divided by the number of shares or units outstanding. It represents the per-share worth, giving investors an idea of what each share is truly worth based on the underlying assets. Think of it like a company's total worth divided among its shares, helping investors assess whether a share is fairly priced.
form 1099-div regulatory
"Final tax characteristics... will be provided on Form 1099-DIV, which is mailed..."
Form 1099-DIV is a U.S. tax document brokers, mutual funds and other financial institutions send to investors showing dividends and other distributions paid during the year. Investors use it like an annual receipt to report taxable income — including regular dividends, dividends that may qualify for lower tax rates, and capital gains distributions — so it directly affects tax liability and helps reconcile brokerage records with a tax return.
edgar regulatory
"These reports and other filings can be found on the Securities and Exchange Commission's EDGAR Database."
EDGAR is a system used by companies to share important financial and business information with the public. It functions like an online filing cabinet where investors can access official reports and documents that help them understand a company's financial health and operations. This transparency allows investors to make more informed decisions, much like checking a company's report card before investing.
distribution rate financial
"The Fund's Average Annual Total Return for the five-year period... Current Annualized Distribution Rate for 2025."
Distribution rate is the percentage that shows how much income an investment pays out to holders over a year, usually expressed relative to the fund’s share price or net asset value. It tells investors the income they can expect—similar to the interest rate on a savings account—and helps gauge whether a security is delivering steady cash flow or relying on capital to pay distributions, which can signal higher risk.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- This press release provides shareholders of Cohen & Steers Infrastructure Fund, Inc. (NYSE: UTF) (the "Fund") with information regarding the sources of the distribution to be paid on January 30, 2026 and cumulative distributions paid fiscal year-to-date.

In March 2015, the Fund implemented a managed distribution policy in accordance with exemptive relief issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The managed distribution policy seeks to deliver the Fund's long-term total return potential through regular monthly distributions declared at a fixed rate per common share. This policy gives the Fund greater flexibility to realize long-term capital gains throughout the year and to distribute those gains on a regular monthly basis to shareholders. The Board of Directors of the Fund may amend, terminate or suspend the managed distribution policy at any time, which could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Fund's shares.

The Fund's monthly distributions may include long-term capital gains, short-term capital gains, net investment income and/or return of capital for federal income tax purposes. Return of capital includes distributions paid by the Fund in excess of its net investment income and net realized capital gains and such excess is distributed from the Fund's assets. A return of capital is not taxable; rather, it reduces a shareholder's tax basis in his or her shares of the Fund. In addition, distributions from the Fund's investments in MLPs are attributed to various sources, including net investment income and return of capital. The amount of monthly distributions may vary depending on a number of factors, including changes in portfolio and market conditions.

At the time of each monthly distribution, information will be posted to cohenandsteers.com and mailed to shareholders in a concurrent notice. However, this information may change at the end of the year because the final tax characteristics of the Fund's distributions cannot be determined with certainty until after the end of the calendar year. Final tax characteristics of all of the Fund's distributions will be provided on Form 1099-DIV, which is mailed after the close of the calendar year.

The following table sets forth the estimated amounts of the current distribution and the cumulative distributions paid this fiscal year-to-date from the sources indicated. All amounts are expressed per common share.

You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund's managed distribution policy. The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with 'yield' or 'income'. The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this Notice are only estimates, are likely to change over time, and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for accounting and tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The amounts and sources of distributions year-to-date may be subject to additional adjustments.

*THE FUND WILL SEND YOU A FORM 1099-DIV FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR THAT WILL TELL YOU HOW TO REPORT THESE DISTRIBUTIONS FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES.

The Fund's Year-to-date Cumulative Total Return for fiscal year 2025 (January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025) is set forth below. Shareholders should take note of the relationship between the Year-to-date Cumulative Total Return with the Fund's Cumulative Distribution Rate for 2025. In addition, the Fund's Average Annual Total Return for the five-year period ending December 31, 2025 is set forth below. Shareholders should note the relationship between the Average Annual Total Return with the Fund's Current Annualized Distribution Rate for 2025. The performance and distribution rate information disclosed in the table is based on the Fund's net asset value per share (NAV). The Fund's NAV is calculated as the total market value of all the securities and other assets held by the Fund minus the total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares outstanding. While NAV performance may be indicative of the Fund's investment performance, it does not measure the value of a shareholder's individual investment in the Fund. The value of a shareholder's investment in the Fund is determined by the Fund's market price, which is based on the supply and demand for the Fund's shares in the open market.
