Neuberger Berman Announces Monthly Distribution

On June 30, 2025, Neuberger Berman Energy Infrastructure and Income Fund Inc., listed on the NYSE American as NML, revealed its current distribution declaration of $0.0584 for each share of common stock. Investors will see this distribution payable by July 31, 2025, with a record date set for July 15, 2025, alongside an ex-date of the same day.

The Fund has embarked on a strategy to deliver consistent monthly cash distributions to those holding its common stock. This fixed rate will be assessed based on estimated net returns from the Fund's portfolio, which includes a diverse mix of investments such as master limited partnerships (MLPs), common stock dividends, interest from debt securities, and other income-generating assets. The total distributions are determined by subtracting operational costs (including leverage, if applied) and taxes from its earnings, allowing for a clear picture of the net distributable cash flow.

Interestingly, some of the distributions that shareholders can expect may be categorized as a non-taxable return of capital. This aspect is significant as it distinguishes these payments from ordinary dividends. A return of capital implies a return of the initial investment, which could affect a shareholder's capital gain or loss position when selling their shares. Consequently, it’s essential for investors to understand the nuances of these distributions to grasp their potential tax implications.

Transparency in Reporting

Neuberger Berman emphasizes adherence to Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, ensuring transparency regarding distributions that do not derive solely from net investment income. Investors will be informed about the nature of these distributions, which will encompass key details such as estimated portions representing earnings, capital gains, or return of capital. The complete confirmation of distribution sources and their corresponding tax characteristics for 2025 will be finalized after the year concludes.

An important note for investors: Unlike many investment entities, the Fund is liable for federal income tax on taxable income, which can lower the potential distributions received by investors. Therefore, investors in this Fund may see less of the returns compared to direct investments in MLPs due to these tax factors.
