Annual Joint Meeting of Stockholders

April 23, 2015 at 10 a.m. Eastern time

280 Park Avenue, 10th floor

New York, NY 10017

 

 

The Board of Directors of Cohen & Steers Infrastructure Fund, Inc. (UTF) unanimously recommends that stockholders of UTF vote “FOR” the proposal to revise UTF’s fundamental investment restriction with respect to concentrating investments in an industry as follows:

 

  Current Restriction  

Proposed Amended Restriction

The Fund may not invest more than 25% of its managed assets in securities of issuers in any one industry, except for the utility industry.

  The Fund may not invest more than 25% of its managed assets in securities of issuers in any one industry, except for securities in infrastructure companies.

The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the revised investment restriction for the following reasons:

 

    The amended restriction is intended to more closely align the concentration policy of UTF with the change to UTF’s name and investment objective which was approved by stockholder in 2009;

 

    Increase UTF’s investment flexibility to allow UTF to invest in infrastructure companies more broadly; and

 

    Reduce administrative and compliance burdens.

 

What happens if the proposed revision is approved?

If the proposed amended restriction is approved, UTF will have the ability to invest in infrastructure companies more broadly. The Advisor believes that this will allow UTF to take better advantage of attractive investment opportunities and/or respond to changing regulations or market developments in the future.
