Business Wire
ClearBridge Energy Midstream Opportunity Fund Inc. (EMO)
announced today its distribution payment frequency will change from
quarterly to monthly payments beginning in September 2024.
Additionally, EMO declared a monthly distribution of $0.33 per
share for September, October and November. The new distribution is
the equivalent of $0.99 per quarter, representing an increase of
48% from the prior quarter’s distribution. The investment manager
and the Board of Directors believe higher regular monthly
distributions can enhance shareholder total returns and may have a
positive impact on the Fund’s discount to its net asset value
(NAV).
