Tax and Characterization Considerations

Distributions may include net investment income, long-term capital gains, short-term capital gains, and return of capital. Return of capital includes distributions paid in excess of net investment income and is distributed from the Fund's assets. Under federal tax regulations, some or all of the return of capital may be taxed as ordinary income. Distributions from investments in real estate investment trusts (REITs), master limited partnerships (MLPs), and closed-end funds (CEFs) may be recharacterized as capital gains or return of capital after year-end reporting.

Shareholders will receive a Form 1099-DIV for federal income tax reporting. The monthly notices issued by the Funds are for informational purposes only and should not be used for tax preparation. Investors can find additional information on the Funds' website at cohenandsteers.com.
