The Funds pay regular quarterly cash distributions to common shareholders at a level rate that may be adjusted from time to
time. Each Fund's distributions reflect net investment income, and may also include net realized capital gains and/or return of
capital. Return of capital includes distributions paid by a Fund in excess of its net investment income, and such excess is
distributed from the Fund's assets. Under federal tax regulations, some or all of the return of capital distributed by a Fund may
be taxed as ordinary income. The amount of quarterly distributions may vary depending on a number of factors, including changes
in portfolio and market conditions.
In addition, distributions for each Fund's investments in real estate investment trusts (REITs), master limited partnerships
(MLPs) and/or closed-end funds (CEFs) may later be characterized as capital gains and/or a return of capital, depending on the
character of the dividends reported to each Fund after year end by the REITs, MLPs and CEFs held by a Fund.
The amount and composition of each Fund's distribution is disclosed quarterly at cohenandsteers.com; however, this information
may change after year end once the final tax characteristics of all Fund distributions can be determined with certainty. Final
tax characteristics of all fund distributions will be provided on Form 1099-DIV, which is mailed after the close of the calendar
year.
