Tortoise Capital Advisors Announces Distribution Dates and Amounts for Closed-End Funds

The closed-end funds managed by Tortoise Capital Advisors declared the following distributions today:

The TYG, NTG, TTP and NDP distributions are payable on Nov. 28, 2014 to stockholders of record on Nov. 21, 2014. The ex-dividend date is Nov. 19, 2014. For tax purposes, we currently expect 80 to 100 percent of TYG’s and NTG’s 2014 distributions to be characterized as qualified dividend income (“QDI”), with the remainder, if any, as return of capital; and 80 to 100 percent of TTP’s and NDP’s 2014 distributions to be characterized as dividend income and capital gain, with the remainder, if any, as return of capital. A final determination of the characterization will be made in January 2015.

For book purposes, the source of distributions for TYG and NTG is estimated to be 100 percent return of capital, and the source of distributions for NDP is estimated to be approximately 65 to 75 percent ordinary income, with the remainder as return of capital. TTP will report the source for its quarterly distribution at the time of the payment in the applicable Section 19(a) Notice.

The TPZ monthly distributions are payable on Dec. 31, 2014, Jan. 30, 2015 and Feb. 27, 2015 to stockholders of record on the respective dates of Dec. 24, 2014, Jan. 23, 2015 and Feb. 20, 2015. The respective ex-dividend dates are Dec. 22, 2014, Jan. 21, 2015 and Feb. 18, 2015. For tax purposes, we currently expect 80 to 100 percent of TPZ’s 2014 distributions to be characterized as dividend income and capital gain, with the remainder, if any, as return of capital. TPZ will report the sources for its monthly distributions at the time of payment in the applicable Section 19(a) Notice.

You should not draw any conclusions about TPZ’s or TTP’s investment performance from the amount of these distributions or from the terms of TPZ’s or TTP’s distribution policy.

The amounts and sources of distributions TPZ and TTP report are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon TPZ’s and TTP’s investment experience during the remainder of their fiscal years and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. TPZ and TTP will each send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.
