NEW
YORK, July 24, 2024 /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 July 31, 2024 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 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
2024 (January 1, 2024 through
June 30, 2024) 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 2024. In addition, the Fund's Average Annual
Total Return for the five-year period ending June 30, 2024 is set forth below. Shareholders
should note the relationship between the Average Annual Total
Return with the Fund's Current Annualized Distribution Rate for
2024. 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.
