Key Terms

master limited partnerships, distributable cash flow, return of capital, ex-date, +2 more

6 terms

master limited partnerships financial

"consists of (1) cash and paid-in-kind distributions from master limited partnerships"

Master limited partnerships are businesses that combine the tax advantages of a partnership with shares that trade on public markets, letting everyday investors buy units and collect regular cash distributions. They often operate in industries with steady, fee-like revenue (for example pipelines), so they can act like owning a rental that pays you income; investors care because MLPs are mainly used for predictable cash returns but can be sensitive to commodity prices and interest rates.

distributable cash flow financial

"intends to pay its regular monthly distributions out of its distributable cash flow"

Distributable cash flow is the amount of money a business generates from its operations that management considers available to pay dividends, buy back shares, or make other distributions to owners after setting aside what’s needed to keep the business running and meet routine obligations. Investors care because it shows how much real cash can be returned to them—like a household’s leftover paycheck after paying rent and groceries—and helps judge whether payouts are sustainable and backed by operations rather than accounting entries.

return of capital financial

"A "return of capital" is a distribution by the Fund which represents a return"

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.

ex-date financial

"has a record date of June 15, 2026, and has an ex-date of June 15, 2026."

The ex-date is the specific day when a stock stops trading with the right to receive an upcoming dividend or other benefit. If you buy the stock on or after this date, you won't get the upcoming payout; instead, the seller will. It’s like a cut-off point that determines who is entitled to receive the benefits of a company’s distribution to shareholders.

record date financial

"is payable on June 30, 2026, has a record date of June 15, 2026"

The record date is the specific day when a company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or participate in an upcoming vote. It’s like a cutoff date; if you own the stock on that day, you get the benefits or voting rights. This date matters because it decides who qualifies for certain company benefits.

Investment Company Act of 1940 regulatory

"In compliance with Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended"

A U.S. federal law that sets the rulebook for pooled investment vehicles such as mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and similar money managers, requiring them to register with regulators, disclose holdings and fees, limit conflicts of interest, and follow governance standards. It matters to investors because these protections and transparency rules act like a referee and scoreboard, helping people compare funds, trust that managers follow fair practices, and spot hidden costs or risks.

NEW YORK, May 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Neuberger Energy Infrastructure and Income Fund Inc. (NYSE American: NML) (the "Fund") has announced a distribution declaration of $0.07008 per share of common stock. The distribution announced today is payable on June 30, 2026, has a record date of June 15, 2026, and has an ex-date of June 15, 2026.

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 2026 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.
