As previously disclosed, TYG and NTG continue to transition their distribution policies to shift to a NAV-based distribution. Distribution amounts are generally expected to fall in the range of 5% to 7% of trailing average NAV. The NAV-based distributions for TYG and NTG align with the goal of maximizing NAV and provides the portfolio management team the flexibility to own investments with the most compelling total return potential across a broader set of energy infrastructure companies. Net cash flow not distributed can be used to fund share repurchases, reinvest in portfolio securities or reduce leverage.

The TYG, NTG and TTP distributions are payable on May 28, 2021 to shareholders of record on May 21, 2021. TPZ is expected to continue to declare distributions monthly, with the May distribution payable on May 28, 2021 to shareholders of record on May 21, 2021. TEAF monthly distributions are payable on June 30, 2021, July 30, 2021 and August 31, 2021 to shareholders of record on the respective dates of June 23, 2021, July 23, 2021 and August 24, 2021.

Additionally, an update on TEAF's direct investments, portfolio asset allocation, structure types and impact statistics as of April 30, 2021 are provided on the company website here. On a monthly basis, details on each private deal that has taken place over the prior month will be published here. The list includes all deals completed since the fund's inception through April 30, 2021.Updates will continue to be posted on a monthly basis until the fund reaches its target of 60% direct investments.

For book purposes, the source of distributions for TYG and NTG is estimated to be 100% return of capital, and the source of distributions for TEAF is estimated to be approximately 90 to 100% ordinary income, with the remainder as return of capital. For tax purposes, the characterization will not be made until determination of earnings and profits after year end.

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

TTP and TPZ estimate that they have distributed more than their income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of the distribution may be return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in TTP and TPZ is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect TTP's and TPZ's investment performance and should not be confused with "yield" or "income."

TTP and TPZ will report the sources for their distributions at the time of the payment in the applicable Section 19(a) Notice. The amounts and sources of distributions TTP and TPZ 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 TTP's and TPZ's investment experience during the remainder of their fiscal years and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations.
