Company Overview 

Tortoise Power and Energy Infrastructure (NYSE: TPZ) is a closed-end fund that seeks to invest in a portfolio of companies focused solely on the power and energy infrastructure sectors. This sector is expected to provide stable distributions throughout economic cycles. A significant portion of the portfolio is anticipated to initially include investment grade fixed income securities, as well as dividend-paying equity securities.

Energy infrastructure operations use a network of pipeline assets to transport, store, gather and/or process crude oil, refined petroleum products (including biodiesel and ethanol), natural gas or natural gas liquids.

  3. You should not draw any conclusions about TPZ's investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms fo TPZ's distribution policy.  TPZ estimates that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital.  A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in TPZ is paid back to you.  A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect TPZ's investment performance and should not be confused with "yield" or "income."  The amounts and sources of distributions reported 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 investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations.  TPZ 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.  See additional information on the sources of TPZ's distributions in the applicable Section 19(a) Notification under Distribution History on TPZ's page at http://tygd.client.shareholder.com/notices.cfm.
